Workshop Description

Pavement markings are a part of a road agencies communication system directed at road users that are utilized in addition to signs and signals. Pavement markings can communicate to a motorist where to properly position vehicles, warn motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists about upcoming roadway conditions, and can also indicate where passing is legally allowed. 

Pavement markings provide both traffic control and positive guidance. These pavement markings may also be supplemental to the existing regulations and warnings of other traffic control devices such as traffic signals. Pavement markings may be used as a standalone traffic control device to produce significant safety results that cannot be obtained by any other device. Pavement markings can be more effectively convey additional regulations and warnings that may not be clearly understood by the road user.
