Crumbling yellow lines

Post by Lawrie9 »

Have you noticed all the yellow lines are crumbling and there are bits of yellow line everywhere. You would think they could find something that didn't crumble. It is often when they have gone over existing yellow line. To me its just unsightly.

Cut backs. Once they've all crumbled away there will be no markings for the locations where you can park a car with it's hazard lights on :wink: .

Yellow lines do not seem to be the problem here but that awful coloured stuff; red and green to demark cycle lanes, or slow down lines....
When it starts to break up it takes whole chunks of the road surface that is underneath with it......

They break up because people park on them

Not to mention the antiskid patches that are turning into serious washboard in some areas :evil:
