Types of Cycle Lane Marking Services in Durham
We provide a full range of cycle lane marking services in Durham to meet different road layouts and safety requirements. These include:
Mandatory cycle lanes: Marked with solid white lines to give cyclists dedicated space. Motor vehicles cannot enter or park in these lanes during operating hours.
Advisory cycle lanes: Marked with dashed white lines. Vehicles may enter when necessary but must give priority to cyclists.
Contra-flow cycle lanes: Installed on one-way streets to allow cycle traffic to flow in both directions. These increase connectivity for cyclists in urban areas.
Shared use markings: Used where cyclists and pedestrians share paths. Clear symbols and surface treatments help reduce conflicts and improve safety.
Coloured surfacing: Applied to increase visibility, especially at junctions and crossings. It highlights the cycle lane to all road users.
Cycle symbols and directional arrows: Reinforce cyclist priority and indicate direction of travel. Used alongside other markings for clarity.
Advanced stop lines (ASLs): Placed at signal-controlled junctions to give cyclists a head start. They improve visibility and reduce collision risk with turning vehicles.
We tailor each service to site conditions and client requirements. All markings comply with TSRGD and local authority standards.

What are the Benefits of Painted Cycle Lanes?
Painted cycle lanes in Durham improve road safety because they separate cyclists from motor traffic. They reduce collision risk by making cycle routes visible and predictable. Local authorities install them to encourage active travel and cut congestion.
Clear markings increase driver awareness of cyclists, especially at junctions. They guide cyclist positioning, reducing conflict with parked cars or turning vehicles.
Painted lanes support sustainable transport goals because they promote cycling as a safe, practical choice. They are cost-effective and quick to install, making them ideal for urban mobility upgrades.
How to Apply Cycle Lane Markings
We offer a full cycle lane marking service from planning to application. Our process ensures accuracy, durability and compliance with all regulations. The key steps include:
Site assessment - We inspect the location to check surface condition, layout and traffic requirements. This ensures the right materials and approach.
Preparation - We clean the surface thoroughly and remove any old or faded markings. This step is vital for strong adhesion and a clean finish.
Layout marking - Our team sets out the exact position of lines, symbols and arrows using plans, chalk lines and measuring tools. This guarantees accuracy.
Material application - We apply thermoplastic or durable paint using specialist machinery. These materials are chosen for visibility, wear resistance and weather performance.
Reflective treatment - We add glass beads to the surface during application. This improves night-time visibility and safety for cyclists.
Final inspection - We check all markings for quality and compliance with TSRGD standards. Once confirmed, the area is reopened to traffic.
We handle projects of all sizes and work with local authorities, contractors and private clients. Our markings are built to last and designed to keep cyclists safe.
