Road markings are an often underestimated tool in traffic safety. Road markings are by many road authorities primarily considered a cost, even if proper performing markings and traffic signs are important aids in ensuring safe traffic flow, thus minimizing the number of accidents and fatalities.
The increasing number of elderly people still driving at high ages enhances the need for ensuring proper performing markings. Slower reaction time and less light vision by this group of citizens can be counter balanced by providing proper performing markings.
Especially at night-time markings and signs are the only guidance drivers may have to stay on the road avoiding accidents. And even worse, visibility is further reduced during wet and rainy conditions.
