What are the current issues with markings? Ghost markings' can be very confusing for drivers. These occur when road markings need to be removed, for example when road layouts change for works, and the original lines still appear as marks. The problem is worse in bright sunshine. Also, removing markings can cause damage to the surface, with the repairs creating additional work and adding to the overall cost of road schemes. While existing systems and products are serving us well, Highways England is constantly looking for new opportunities to improve what we do and make driving a safer and smoother experience. Being acutely aware of the challenges of removing road markings and also maintaining retroreflection - brighter markings - we set out to find a solution that will make a real difference for drivers on our roads.
