DESIGN MANUAL FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES VOLUME 6 SECTION 3 - ROAD GEOMETRY, PART 4 - COLOURED SURFACING IN ROAD LAYOUT (EXCLUDING TRAFFIC CALMING)

In this new document advice is given upon early experience of coloured surfacing on major roads. Where coloured surfaces are required, a co-ordinated and consistent use of colour is recommended to enhance the message of traffic signs and road markings and improve the potential benefits. Coloured surfaces are not considered as signs or road markings and therefore have no legal status. They are intended to supplement the prescribed signs and road markings. This Advice Note identifies potential applications of coloured surfacing on existing trunk roads, In the case of new roads it should not generally be necessary to employ coloured surfacing, although it may be considered at locations where relaxations within, or departures from standard have been incorporated.
