European foreword
This document (prEN 18124:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 226
“Road Equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
Temporary road markings can be made by using preformed or non-preformed road marking
materials.
Temporary ‘preformed’ road marking products are defined as tape, preformed cold plastic or
preformed thermoplastic road marking.
Preformed road marking products are fully finished during manufacturing and do not change
significantly their properties during application. They can be applied by means of adhesives,
pressure or heat, with or without the use of a primer.
‘Assemblies’ (non-preformed road markings) are the base road marking material (paint,
thermoplastic or cold plastic) together with the drop-on materials and / or premix glass beads
needed to build up the applied road marking.
Temporary road markings are sometimes applied with a view for later removal and therefore
the specific property of “removability” can be required. See Annex A for more detail.
There are two different concepts for the use of temporary road markings:
1) Apply temporary road markings side by side with the existing permanent road marking
to delineate new lanes, e.g. in workzones.
In order to differentiate the relevant temporary markings from the existing permanent
markings, a different colour may be used (e.g. yellow or orange). It is good practice to
specify higher visibility performance for the temporary markings in respect to the
permanent markings, to ensure superior visibility during all driving conditions, wet and
rain.
In case that yellow temporary markings should be clearly differentiated from permanent
white markings, it is recommended to specify the daytime colour class Y2. Also night-time
colour may be specified.
Special care should be given for the road presence and good adhesion of preformed
temporary road markings. Detailed application instructions, including the use of primers
and the climatic conditions allowing the safe application of the preformed marking should
be given by the manufacturer.
2) Remove or optionally mask the permanent road markings and delineate new lanes with
temporary road markings. No special provisions are needed for this concept, any of the
colours, also yellow of class Y1 may be used.
NOTE Attention is drawn to national requirements when removing or masking the permanent
road marking, and to national specifications regarding the colours used.
Release of dangerous substances
National regulations on dangerous substances can require verification and declaration on
release, and sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are
placed on those markets.
In the absence of European harmonized test methods, attention is drawn to national
provisions in the place of use regarding the verification and declaration on release/content.
NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous
substances is available at the Construction website on EUROPA accessed through:

1 Scope
This document specifies white, yellow and orange road markings, removable or non-
removable, under the form of road marking assemblies or preformed road markings, to be
used for temporary road markings in circulation areas. Other road marking products and
colours intended for temporary road markings are not covered in this document.
This document also gives specifications for the evaluation of conformity of temporary road
markings in circulation areas including type testing and factory production control.

3.1
temporary road marking
road marking that is used for a limited time, e.g. during the duration of a workzone
Note 1 to Entry: The durability expectation can be lower than for permanent road markings.
Temporary road markings are sometimes applied with a view for later removal and therefore the
specific property of “removability” can be required. See Annex A for more details.
3.2
preformed road marking
factory produced road marking system (or product), in sheet or roll form, capable of being
applied to the substrate with adhesive, primer, pressure, heat or a combination of these

significantly their properties during application.
