Pavement Markings

Pavement markings are used to convey messages to roadway users. They indicate which part of the road to use, provide information about conditions ahead, and indicate where passing is allowed (2011 MD MUTCD).

Pavement markings are used on County-maintained roadways to provide guidance and information to motorists. In addition to stripes on the roadways, other markings include inlaid markers, roadside delineators, and flexible posts used for channelizing traffic. All markings must be designed and installed in compliance with the Maryland Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The Traffic Engineering Division uses both its own forces and contractors to install markings.
