What is Line Marking?
Line marking involves applying painted or thermoplastic lines, symbols, and patterns to a surface to guide traffic, improve safety, and organise spaces. It is an essential part of infrastructure for roads, pedestrian zones, sports facilities, warehouses, and public areas. Effective line marking is both functional and visually clear, helping reduce accidents and improve efficiency.
