Thanks to the marking of roads, it became possible to establish the modes and order of movement of vehicles and pedestrians. Thanks to it, drivers can visually navigate the track. Road marking can be used both independently and in conjunction with other technical means that are responsible for the organization of traffic. Drawing and further use of marking on an improved pavement, as well as on local streets, must be carried out in accordance with the current requirements of GOST.
The determination of the width that the lane will occupy is subject to the current rules for this kind of road. If it was produced cross-section of roads that do not comply with current building codes, the width of the lane should exceed 3 meters. In addition, the width of the strip can be partially reduced if the restriction mode for cars is introduced. In this case, the strip will be 0.25 meters less than usual. In order to determine the width of the lane, it is necessary to calculate the distance between the boundaries of the marking line.
If the road surface was made of cement concrete, it is possible to apply a longitudinal marking line, due to which the flows of vehicles moving in the same direction will be separated not far from the temperature seam on the left side of the vehicle. It is also worth considering that flows that move towards can be separated by a marking line on either side of the seam. All the necessary horizontal markings can also be applied on an improved road surface, except for those cases that do not meet the standards set by GOST.
Horizontal marking, can be applied in any settlements on highways and streets, as well as local roads. In rural areas, horizontal markings are applied directly on the roads and streets on which vehicles move. Outside the city, this type of marking is used only if the carriageway is at least 6 meters wide. Moreover, the intensity of movement should be at least 1000 cars per day.
Marking on other roads is also allowed, if necessary, to make car traffic safer. Marking is necessary in cases where it is necessary to divide a large number of vehicles that move along the road in opposite directions. In addition, markings will be applied on sections of the road where vehicle stops are prohibited and to indicate where the pedestrian may cross the road.
