Preformed road marking |
(57) A preformed road marking suitable for heat bonding to the surface on which it is
to be laid withoutthe use of adhesive comprises a body of a thermoplastic material
which can be thermoset more than once and incorporates a reinforcement in or on the
body. The reinforcement may be in the form of individual strands, or mesh, or a film
or coating selected so that the effectiveness of the marking is not impaired. Advan-
tageouslythe reinforcement is removed, for example by melting, during laying to the
surface.
The use of the reinforcement in the marking holds the marking together in the event
of cracing or shattering and during handling and it enables sections of marking to
be folded for packing and unfolded and laid with ease on arrival at the marking site.
