State of the Art Road Marking Machine now Operating on Devon's Highway Network

Devon County Council have recently commenced substituting traditional Thermoplastic road markings with Methyl methacrylate (MMA) Cold Applied Materials for a bulk of the road marking schemes across the county. To support the advance in material technology, a state-of-the-art road marking machine is now operational on Devon’s highway network. It’s the first of its kind in the UK, with less than 5 operational worldwide, the advancement in road marking delivery is truly world class.

This groundbreaking technology presents a myriad of benefits, notably an impressive 86% reduction in CO2e emissions compared to conventional delivery methods. Moreover, it prioritises safety for both road users and the workforce responsible for applying the markings. Additionally, by bolstering durability, it effectively reduces stakeholder disruption on the network, culminating in a significant 17% whole life cost saving over a 10-year investment period.
