Road markings give important information and advise road users about what they can or cannot do. When used appropriately, they make a vital contribution to safety and traffic management.
In addition, where appropriate, we may introduce new road markings, which include access protection markings (H bars), disabled bays or new parking controls and restrictions.
Road Lining Refresh
The county-wide maintenance programme refreshes road markings on Surrey’s main roads, covering 3–4 boroughs or districts each year. This includes going 30 metres into side roads to ensure give-way markings and waiting restrictions on corners are refreshed.
All other road marking refresh requests are assessed, prioritised, and completed as needed.
Report a problem with road markings or lines
Lines on resurfaced roads
Where we have resurfaced a road, we aim to replace all the road markings within 6 weeks. We can take longer on certain roads due to parked cars, weather and other factors that affect us being able to get the lines down.
Road markings on trunk roads and motorways (A3, M25, M23, A30 and M3) are maintained by National Highways.
