In every production facility or warehouse, proper internal traffic management plays a crucial role. This is not only a matter of operational efficiency but, above all, the safety of employees and visitors. In the previous article, we discussed road design. This time, we will focus on road markings, which are the foundation for smooth and safe operation within any enterprise.

Rules for Marking Internal Roads

Internal road markings must comply with applicable road traffic regulations. These regulations ensure uniformity and clarity of messages for all users. Key requirements for such markings include:

• Visibility: Providing sufficient time to notice and understand the sign.
• Positioning: Adapting the location of signs to different road users.
• Legibility: Ensuring that signs are clear and accessible in their message.
• Maintenance: Keep signs clean regularly to ensure they are always legible and visible.
• Lighting: Where necessary, signs should be equipped with reflective or phosphorescent elements.

Examples of Markings

Internal road markings include both vertical and horizontal signage. The most commonly used signs include:

• Vertical signage: Traffic prohibited in both directions, entry prohibited.
• Road markings: Pedestrian crossing, stop, speed limit, give way, one-way road, parking space, no-through road, direction of traffic, stop line before priority road.

Additionally, in production and warehouse areas, where standard signs often prove insufficient, additional pictograms and health and safety signs, including horizontal signs, are introduced to ensure smooth traffic flow, clear space and safe working conditions.

Road Markings

Route planning must take into account safe distances between vehicles, obstacles, and pedestrians. Road surfaces should be level, hard or paved, and with adequate load-bearing capacity. It is important that roads and walkways are maintained to ensure safe use.

Summary

Effective signage for internal traffic routes in a workplace is not only a matter of meeting formal requirements, but above all, it ensures the safety and smooth running of operations. Carefully planned and executed signage can reduce the risk of accidents and increase work efficiency.
