Non-urgent issues
Our responsibility for maintaining road markings includes:
- Renewing faded, worn or defective yellow/white lines on the carriageway.
- Repainting previous yellow/white lines, access protection markings or other lines/markings following resurfacing. This usually takes place up to 6-8 weeks following resurfacing, but can be dependent upon weather conditions.
