The markings serve as psychological barriers and signify the delineation of traffic paths and their lateral clearance from traffic hazards for safe movement of traffic. Road markings are therefore essential to ensure smooth and orderly flow of traffic and to promote road safety. The Code of Practice for Road Markings, IRC: 35-2015 will be used in the study as the design basis. The location and type of marking lines, material and colour is followed using IRC: 35-2015 “Code of Practice for Road Markings”. The road markings are carefully planned on carriageways, intersections, parking and bridge locations. 2.2.
