Highways authorities around the world are testing every component of a pavement in a bid to improve durability.

English national roads authority Highways England has moved onto the second stage of a £685,000 research project which aims to find hard-wearing road markings and materials that can remove those markings.

The authority believes that the findings of its research could help improve road safety and decrease whole-life pavement costs around the world.

The project is part of a four-year research program which aims to drive improvements across England’s motorway and A-road network. Application and removal of road markings was identified as one of the most important areas for research.
