Road markings are aids to control traffic by exercising psychological control
over the road users.
They are made use of in delineating the carriage way as well as marking
obstructions, to ensure safe driving.
They also assist safe pedestrian crossing.
Longitudinal markings which are provided along the length of the road and its
various classifications were discussed.
Transverse markings are provided along the width of the road.
Road markings also contain word messages, but since it is time consuming to
understand compared to other markings there are only very few of them.
Markings are also used to warn the driver about the hazardous locations ahead.
Thus road markings ensure smooth flow of traffic providing safety also to the
road users.
