Road Signage and Road Marking Works
Road safety is one of the most complicated and demanding challenges of today due to the dynamic and complex nature of road traffic and exponential increase in the number of vehicles. Therefore, the traffic department has to formulate contemporary road safety strategies which are multidisciplinary and comprehensive. Traffic control devices are an integral part of road infrastructure and among this road markings and road signs play an important role. In general, it provides road users with necessary information about the rules, warnings, obligations and other information related to the upcoming situations and road diversions and alignment.
Road signs are used to convey information to road users, to encourage road safety and to assist in traffic flow. There are order signs – which are prohibitive, warning signs – which draw the driver’s attention about possible hazards ahead, direction signs – which show how to reach a place, tourism signs – which direct visitors to a destination among others.
Road markings are also as important as road signs as they contribute to a safe driving environment. They convey the message to road users which might not be possible using upright road signs.
We, at Mokasco, comply with the Traffic Signs and Markings Regulations issued by the Traffic Department of Qatar. They determine the design of the signs and where they can be used and whether they must be lit up at night.
