Temporary Road Markings
Temporary does not mean untidy.
When traffic has to keep moving through roadworks, or a city centre has to become a marathon course for a Sunday morning, you need markings that perform perfectly for a defined window, and leave no scar behind. We apply water-based temporary systems that read clearly in daylight and headlight, then remove cleanly by washing or light abrasion.
01 / Typical applications
- Lane re-routing and contraflow layouts through roadworks and utility digs
- Marathons, city runs, triathlons and cycling events, start grids, route arrows, km markers
- Exhibitions, film and TV production base markings
- Temporary car park and queuing layouts for seasonal peaks
02 / The systems we use
- Water-based temporary paint, low-VOC, fast drying, traffic-ready in minutes
- Removable preform tape for high-definition symbols and legends
- Foil-back systems where a harder-wearing temporary line is needed
03 / Removal and reinstatement
- Clean removal by high-pressure water, no ghost lines, no surface damage
- Permanent reinstatement of the original layout as a single package
- Out-of-hours working to keep the event or works programme on schedule
FAQ · TMP-02
Common questions
How quickly can temporary markings be removed?
Water-based systems wash off with high-pressure water in a single pass. On a typical city-centre event route we can have the surface back to its original state within hours of the finish line.
Do temporary markings meet visibility standards?
Yes, we use bead-embedded temporary systems so the line performs in wet and night conditions for the full duration of the works, exactly as Chapter 8 requires.
