Types and application of road marking

Thanks to road marking,establish modes and procedures for the movement of vehicles and pedestrians. Thanks to it, drivers can visually orient themselves on the track. Road marking, can be used both independently and together with other technical means, which are responsible for the organization of traffic. The application and further use of marking on the improved road surface, as well as on local streets, must be carried out in accordance with the current requirements of GOST.

The definition of the width that the lane will occupy is made taking into account the existing rules for this type of road. If it was produced marking cross-section of roads that are notcomply with the current building codes, the lane width should exceed 3 meters. In addition, the bandwidth can be partially reduced in the event that the traffic restriction mode for cars is introduced. In this case, the strip will be 0.25 meters less than usual. In order to determine the lane width, it is necessary to calculate the distance between the boundaries of the marking line.

If the pavement was made ofcement concrete, possibly applying a longitudinal line of marking, due to which flows, transport moving in the direction of passing will be separated near the temperature seam on the left side of the traffic. It should also be taken into account that the flows that move towards can be separated by a marking line from either side of the seam. All the necessary notations for horizontal marking can also be applied on the improved road surface, except for those cases that do not meet the standards set by GOST.

Horizontal markup can be used inany settlements on highways and streets, as well as roads of local destination. In rural areas, horizontal marking is applied directly on roads and streets along which vehicles move. Outside the city, this type of marking is used only if the carriageway is at least 6 meters wide. And the intensity of movement should be not less than 1000 cars within 24 hours.

It is allowed to apply markup to otherroads if necessary to make the car traffic more secure. The use of marking is necessary in those cases where it is necessary to divide a large number of vehicles that move along the road in opposite directions. In addition, the marking will be applied on sections of the road where the stopping of vehicles is prohibited and to indicate the place where the pedestrian can cross the road.
