Roadway Markings

Roadway marking include any markings applied to the pavement such as paint, raised pavement markers and special pavement treatments. Markings have a definite and important function to perform in a proper scheme of traffic control. In some cases, they are used to supplement the regulations or warnings of other devices such as traffic signs and signals. They are also used alone and produce results that cannot be obtained by the use of any other device.

The most common method of placing pavement markings is by the use of paint. Pavement markings shall be yellow or white. Yellow lines delineate the separation of traffic flows in opposing directions or mark the left edge of a divided highway. Marking for school zones are also yellow. White lines delineate the separation of traffic flows in the same direction or mark the right edgeline. Broken lines are permissive in character, and solid lines are restrictive in character.

To report any roadway marking concerns including centerline or lane striping or legend problems, including crosswalks, please contact the Quality of Life Department at (909) 798-7655 and provide our staff with the location and type of roadway marking problem or concern.
