EXAMPLES OF

ROAD MARKINGS

Constructing roads and highways requires you to ensure the


safety of motorists and pedestrians. You can do this by using
high-quality materials and expert road line marking techniques.
These will allow you to build roads that are up to standard and
will last a long time
This road marking tells drivers
to stay inside a certain space.
They should not go beyond
these lines when driving,
whether to overtake other
vehicles or for any other reason

SOLID WHITE
SHOULDER LINE
Solid White Line
in the Center
Solid white lines in the center of the road
divide highways into a right- and left-hand
side. This allows passing cars to stay in their
lane and avoid collisions with vehicles going
the other way.
Broken White
Center Line
This is another marking used.
to divide two-lane
roads into a right- and left-hand side. The
difference is that vehicles can overtake one another
in areas divided by the broken white center line,
considering they do it with care
Overtaking is not allowed in the
parts of the road divided by
thick, double white center lines.
Only left-hand turns are
permitted if the road is clear.
Otherwise, drivers need to stay
in their lane.

DOUBLE WHITE CENTER LINES


LINE
Double Yellow
Center Lines

This type of highway line marking is often placed in areas with blind curves and
fast-moving cars. Similar to double white center lines, yellow lines prohibit
drivers from overtaking at all times
Mixed Center Lane
Divider With Broken
Lines

Sometimes, lanes are divided with a solid line on


one side and a broken line on the other. This road
marking means that drivers on the side of the
broken line can overtake other vehicles as long as
they do it safely.
Mixed Center Line
with Broken Yellow or
White Line
This type of line often appears on dangerous
curves or merging ones. This type of
marking allows drivers to overtake but only
from the side on which the broken line runs
along.
Solid white lane dividers can
usually be found before an
intersection and indicate that
drivers can no longer change
lanes. This type of line reminds
drivers to stay within their lane
and to follow the arrow
indicated on their lane.

WHITE LANE DIVIDER


LINE
Yellow Lane Divider
The portion of the road inside a solid yellow lane divider
is assigned for buses. Private
. vehicles and other PUVs
are prohibited from crossing this line.
Broken yellow lane dividers
allow private vehicles and other
PUVs to enter the bus lane. This
highway line marking often
appears in areas where drivers
need to cross the bus lane to
turn to an intersection or make a
U-turn..

BROKEN YELLOW LANE DIVIDER


Broken Blue Lane

On a major road, this line signifies that it’s

for motorbikes. Vehicles can still


maneuver through this lane but, the lane is
made for motorists
Solid Horizontal
Line
This type of highway line marking is often
found at the borders of intersections. It tells
drivers where to make a full stop to avoid
getting a violation or being involved in an
accident. Vehicles can only go ahead or turn
when the stoplight turns green or the traffic
enforcer signals it is safe to do so.
Directional Arrows

Directional arrows tell drivers which


direction they can go depending on the
lane they’re on. Only lanes with arrows
pointing left or right will be allowed to
make a turn, arrows pointing forward
may only go straight. Non-compliance
with these markings may lead to fines or
accidents.
The diagonal white lines can be
found in parts of the road that
merge or intersect. This type of
marking was made to ease
traffic and for emergencies.

DIAGONAL LINES
Rumble Strips
These continuous horizontal lines are an indication of
merging traffic, sharp curves, and hazards on the road
ahead.
Yellow Box

The yellow box painted on intersections


signals to drivers that they need to keep the
space open. Cars are not allowed to stop
inside the yellow box and block oncoming
traffic.
Perhaps the most common road
marking, the zebra or pedestrian
crossing is often found in areas
where people usually cross the
street. In the
Philippines, road signs are
placed before this road marking
to alert motorists of pedestrians
up ahead. Cars that encounter
this road marking must make a
full stop and give way to
pedestrians to ensure their
safety

PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
