Report points to poor state of white lines

A new report has highlighted the poor state of white lines on some of the country's most dangerous roads.

The report, by the Road Safety Marking Association, looked at 1,500 miles of motorways and A-roads and concluded that of the 1,000 miles of single carriage A-roads examined, just a third had white lines with decent visibility. This was despite rural A-roads accounting for two-thirds of all road fatalities and serious injuries in the UK.

The national director of the RSMA, George Lee said: "Two years ago, just 2% of our major road network had markings that rated virtually non-existant. This figure has risen at an alarming rate, and now nearly a tenth of the centre lines on our trade routes are dangerously worn."
