Traffic signs manual: Chapter 5: Road markings

Product Information

Where it is not possible to provide temporary road markings, drivers should be warned of their absence by means of advance warning signs. At junctions where all, or any part, of the STOP or Give Way marking has been removed and temporary markings cannot be provided, a prescribed variant of diagram 7012 "NO STOP MARKINGS" or "NO GIVE Markings for Zebra, Pelican and Puffin crossings are prescribed in the Zebra, Pelican and Puffin Pedestrian Crossings Regulations and General Directions 1997 (the Pedestrian Crossings Regulations). Toucan and equestrian crossings are marked using diagrams 1001.3, 1055.1 and 1055.2 prescribed in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002. More detailed guidance on the provision of pedestrian crossings can be found in Local Transport Notes 1 / 95 ( ISBN 0-11-551625-5) and 2 / 95 ( ISBN 0-11-551626-3). iv) centres of studs in the same line must not be less than 250 mm apart nor more than 715 mm at a Zebra crossing, and not less than 500 mm nor more than 720 mm for other crossings. The centre of the nearest stud must be no more than 1300 mm from the edge of the carriageway, and The standard 18 m spacing should be reduced to 9 m on bends with a radius of curvature less than 450 m, or on roads particularly prone to fog and mist or where there is a severe dazzle problem caused by glare from the headlamps of oncoming vehicles.

to indicate a length of the edge of the carriageway which may be crossed. Green studs are used with markings to diagram 1010 (see paras 4.29 and 4.30) at lay-bys and to mark the boundary of acceleration and deceleration lanes on the left hand side of the carriageway. They must not be used in conjunction with Stop or Give Way transverse markings, or with diagram 1009. At lane-drop junctions, and right turnlanes, (see figure 7-7) green studs are used with the marking to diagram 1010 which demarcates the exit lane. ii) diagram 1040.2 must be used on the approach to a staggered crossing (Schedule 4, Part I, para 3(3)). At traffic signal controlled junctions, markings to diagram 1055.1 may be used where cyclists cross under the control of signals, or where pedestrians cross whether or not they are themselves controlled by signals (see figures 9-1 and 9-2 and para 9.15). Chapter 2 is currently a work in progress. It will contain advice on the design and use of directional signs, and also other informatory signs such as home zone signs. Due to the amount of work required to complete chapter 2, it is intended that interim advice on individual topics will be made available as and when completed. i) they must be white, silver or light grey in colour and may be laid in road marking material or be conventional non reflective road studs, in which case they must not project above the carriageway by more than 20 mm at their highest point nor more than 6 mm at their edges,v) the two lines of studs need not be at right angles to the edge of the carriageway, but they must form straight lines and, as far as practicable, be parallel to each other. This format proved to be unwieldy and was replaced with separate volumes starting in 1977, which also dealt with the issues presented by metricating all dimensions. The title of each working drawing reflects the respective Schedule, Part and Item in TSRGD 2016. The part of the title in parentheses refers to the TSRGD 2002 working drawing that it has replaced.

All obsolete markings and road stud housings, particularly those which may give a misleading indication, should be removed as soon as possible. This is particularly important where new central refuges are installed; the old centre line and any road studs should always be realigned (see table 14-1 for recommended tapers) before the road works signing and guarding is removed. Road markings serve a very important function in conveying to road users information and requirements which might not be possible using upright signs. They have the advantage that they can often be seen when a verge-mounted sign is obscured, and, unlike such signs, they can provide a continuing message.

Waiting restrictions indicated by yellow lines apply to the carriageway, pavement and verge. You may stop to load or unload (unless there are also loading restrictions as described below) or while passengers board or alight. Double yellow lines mean no waiting at any time, unless there are signs that specifically indicate seasonal restrictions. The times at which the restrictions apply for other road markings are shown on nearby plates or on entry signs to controlled parking zones. If no days are shown on the signs, the restrictions are in force every day including Sundays and Bank Holidays. Introduction and an outline of the historical, functional and design aspects of signs. The chapter includes sections dealing with the positioning and mounting of signs. Chapter 2 (in draft) informatory signs Zig-zag markings are used at Zebra, Pelican, Puffin, Toucan and equestrian crossings, the standard pattern comprising eight 2 m marks. They must not be used at crossings at signalled road junctions. The controlled area over which the Regulations apply extends from the limit of the crossing up to and including the terminal line. The length between the Give Way or Stop line and the terminal line is marked with zig-zags (see figures 15-1 and 15-2).
