    The document discusses various types of road markings used for traffic control devices, including longitudinal lines, transverse markings, and symbols applied to road surfaces in different colors to convey messages to drivers and pedestrians. It describes classifications of pavement markings and provides examples of specific markings like no overtaking lines, pedestrian crossings, and road studs used for speed control and delineation. The purpose of road markings is to guide and regulate the flow of traffic as well as serve as a visual barrier between lanes.

    ROAD MARKINGS ( IRC 35)

    Introduction
    What is Road markings?
    Road markings are lines, patterns, words which are
    applied or attached to the carriageway
    Road markings normally include longitudinal
    markings, transverse markings, text and symbols etc.
    on the road surfaces.

    Why we need Road markings?


     For guiding and controlling traffic on a highway and
    serve as a psychological barrier

     Channelize the pedestrians and cyclists movement


    into safe location 3
    Colour Pattern for Markings
    White
    Because of the visibility and good contrast against the road surface, the white
    colour should be widely used for road markings.
    Yellow
    Longitudinal marking where to convey the message that “it is not permitted to
    cross the markings”. It also used to show parking restrictions and to impose
    other traffic control.
    Blue
    Indicate new and special markings which are not conventional. Blue is the
    colour of public transportation including three wheelers, scooter and
    rickshaws.
    Green
    Distinguish the bicycle and non-motorised transport facilities provided on the
    road. Green colour background should be marked at the
    intersection to give priority to the cyclists and pedestrians in crossing the
    road.

    Colour Pattern for Markings contd..

    Red/Purple

    Where multiple road users are sharing the


    road space on hazardous locations, the red
    colour marking is primarily used to help
    people understand the danger.
    Red marking is highly recommended on
    hazardous intersections and also at places
    where pedestrians traffic conflict with the
    motorized traffic.

    Classifications of Road Markings
    Pavement Markings are broadly classified into
    following seven categories based on the placement of
    markings
    1. Longitudinal Marking (LM)
    2. Transverse Marking (TM)
    3. Hazard Marking (HM)
    4. Block Marking (BM)
    5. Arrow Marking (AM)
    6. Directional Marking (OM)
    7. Facility Marking (FM) 6
    No Overtaking Central Line 7
    Longitudinal Marking for Undivided Roads
    • Longitudinal marking at mid-block section of single/
    intermediate lane roads, where the carriageway is less than 5.5
    m.

    • Longitudinal marking at mid-block section for two lane roads,


    where the carriageway is 5.5 m to 7 m without any paved
    shoulder.

    8
    Four Lane Divided Road (One Carriageway Width more than 7.3 m)

    • For 7.3 m road width the traffic lane line marking is made
    continuous where stopping sight distance is not available
    at vertical and horizontal curves, but shall be applied for
    short sections to avoid provocations by restricting no-
    overtaking in a one directional multi-lane carriageway.

    9
    ROAD STUDS
    Road studs are used (in series) across the carriageway to serve
    as Speed Arrestor coupled with eschewing warning through
    the creation of the rumbling sensation to the user.

    Colour for Road Studs:


    • White - To indicate traffic lane line and centre of
    carriageway.
    • Red - Mainly to delineate left hand edge of the running
    carriageway
    • Yellow - Aim to delineate the right hand edge of the
    running carriageway (multilane divided carriageways).
    • Green - Green road studs are to be employed to indicate
    crossable edge line.
    Road studs for Bi-Directional Road 11
    Road Studs For Divided Carriageway – Colour matter and
    12
    lateral placement
    Road Studs for Diagonal & Chevron Markings 13
    STOP AND GIVEWAY MARKINGS
    Lane Change Markings and Nose Length in Multilane Highways
    15
    Marking for Road Hump
    16
    Pedestrian Crossing

    17
    18
    No Parking
    Markings for Objects adjacent to Carriageway

    All objects located within 2.4 m from shoulder/kerb shall be painted 19
