A Comprehensive Guide to Center Line Marking in Sydney CBD

Introduction

·         Center line marking is vital for maintaining road safety and efficiency in high-traffic zones like the Sydney CBD.

·         It defines lanes, separates opposing traffic, and guides drivers through complex intersections and turns.

·         At Speedy Line Marking, we specialise in precision-driven center line marking in Sydney CBD, ensuring compliance with Australian road standards and optimal visibility.

Importance of Center Line Marking

·         Traffic Flow Management: Improves road organisation and reduces congestion.

·         Compliance: Meets AS1742.2 Road Marking Standards required for urban road systems.

Types of Center Line Markings

1.      Continuous Lines:

2.      Broken Lines:

3.      Double Lines:
