It can often feel like the bays in modern car parks are getting smaller, but in truth it’s probably just that more of us are driving bigger cars. As a result, too many of today’s car parks feel like they are no longer fit for purpose, with people having to struggle to get in and […]
Read MoreThe number of road accidents – and, more importantly, the number of casualties that result from road accidents – in the UK has been falling steadily for years. If you were to ask the average person why they thought this might be the case, they might suggest that it was down to the success of anti […]
Read MoreFor kids at school, there are learning opportunities everywhere, and playgrounds are no exception. Playground games like hopscotch aren’t just fun, they allow children to develop a number of cognitive skills, such as pattern recognition, memory and concentration. In this article, the Northern Marking team is going to take a closer look at some popular […]
Read MoreLine marking in warehouses enhances efficiency by creating clear pathways, storage areas, aisles, and pedestrian walkways, reducing congestion and confusion, thereby improving material and staff flow while minimising accidents and delays. It optimises material handling by marking lanes and zones for loading docks, picking areas, inbound/outbound shipments, and sorting/packing, facilitating smooth movement of goods, reducing […]
Read MoreRoad markings are crucial for autonomous driving systems, aiding navigation, lane-keeping, object and pedestrian detection, and traffic management. Clear and well-maintained road markings are essential for autonomous vehicles to gather information, maintain lane positioning, detect objects and pedestrians, and interpret traffic rules and signals. Road markings are evolving to communicate with autonomous vehicles and smart […]
Read MoreHere are guidelines for warehouse and factory line marking: Plan Clearly: Develop a comprehensive line marking plan tailored to your facility’s layout and processes to ensure safety and efficiency. Establish a Colour Scheme: While there’s no strict standard, common associations include yellow for aisles and traffic lanes, orange for inspection areas, red for scrap zones, […]

These visual cues guide movement, mark queues, and remind people to maintain a safe distance. Customization is key to address each space’s unique needs. With cases once again on the […]
Read MoreAnti-skid road surfacing, also known as high friction surfacing, is applied to roads to increase skid resistance, primarily in areas prone to collisions such as sharp bends, slip roads, junctions, and roads near schools. It utilises calcine bauxite aggregate, resistant to abrasion and polish, providing a longer-lasting surface texture compared to standard asphalt. Application methods […]
Read MoreRoad markings have a relatively recent history, emerging in the UK just after the turn of the 20th century. The introduction of central white lines began in Birmingham in 1921, initially to address reckless driving and collisions. Cat’s eyes, invented in 1934, significantly improved road safety by enhancing visibility, particularly in low-light conditions. Road markings […]
