Road markings are lines, patterns or words applied to the carriageway or kerbs or objects within or adjacent to the carriageway for warning, guiding and informing both bicycle and other users. These are important tools to control and guide traffic on urban roads and highways. They primarily act as a psychological barrier and signify the delineation of the traffic path and its lateral clearance from hazards to facilitate safe movement of vehicles and people. Road markings are used to segregate bicycle tracks and prioritise bicyclists along a given route. Markings also help in identifying potential conflict areas between bicyclists and motorists.
