CLASSIFICATION OF ROADSIN POLAND
The consequence of deconsolidationof roads administration in Poland
is polish road marking system which is not uniform as it depends on individual Road
Administrator.
What is the situation in othereuropean countries? Do
they have similardifficulties?
The result of the abovepresented Road Administrationsystem – diverse range ofroadmarking systems
New roads(just constructed roads and theroads after renovation of thesurface):- full marking range:edge line and centre line (separatingstreams of traffic flow).
NATIONAL ROADSRANGE OF ROAD MARKING
Remarking (renovation of road marking) :- centre line , renovated in 50-100%, depending on the region
- edge line (not on the all length)renovated in 20-80%, depending on the region
The range of remarking depends on folllowing factors:on budgeton the appraisal of the quality of existing marking
NATIONAL ROADSRANGE OF ROAD MARKING
What is the range of roadmarking systems in other
european countries? What are the criteria of qualification of roads for remarking
after warranty period ?
What is the range and the percentage of remarkings afterwarranty period?

Category of road
On the 13,24% of road system in Poland road marking is obligatory.
On the 86,76% of road system inPoland road marking is not obligatory.
The range of road markingshould depend neither on the road type nor on theAdministrator but exclusively on the roadwidth.
RECOMMENDATONS
Temporary road marking: obligatory marking for roadworks areas –Investmentboom in Poland.
TEMPORARYROAD MARKING
Generally the temporary roadmarking is not applied, only insome cases temporaryroadmarking yellow tape is used.
The roads on which road works are heldand the traffic is allowed stays publicroads. Due to this fact road marking on such road is obligatory.
The areas of road works are particularydanger areas and due to this fact shouldbe marked with the particular care.
What is the range oftemporary road marking in
other countries?
Polish regulations providedifferent road markingparameters (retroreflectivity) for different lifetimes (differentperiods after application)
WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS
PARAMETRY OZNAKOWANIANIA POZIOMEGO
Maintenance of retroreflectivityfactor at required level at theend of warranty period ensuressuitable safety.
The road marking Executor hasto applay such marking, whichensures the maintenance of allparameters at required levelduring whole warranty period.
Introduction of uniform roadmarking parameters for wholewarranty period.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary of conclusions ofthe above presentation
CONCLUSIONS
The range of road markingshould depend neither on theroad type nor on theAdministrator but exclusively on the road width.
RANGE OF ROADMARKING
T raffic regulations are the same for all typesof roads and the state of using different roadmarking for different road typesdoes not make any sense
The local road can’t be less safe than the transitone so it should be marked according to thesame rules.
Drivers can expect the same efficient markingon each type of road.
RANGE OF ROAD MARKING
The roads on which the road works areheld and the traffic is allowed, stay
public roads. Due to this fact the roadmarking on such roads is obligatory.
The areas of road works are particularydanger and regarding this fact shouldbe marked with particular care.
ROAD MARKING FOR ROAD WORKS AREAS
After warranty period road markingshould be completly renewed.
The alternative solution – long-termmaintenance contractsfor road marking.
REMARKING RULES
