Access Highlight Markings
These markings are often called 'dogbones' due to their appearance from
above. They are used to highlight the existence of a driveway or private
access onto the public highway. The marking is often provided where the
presence of a driveway is not obvious and so becomes obstructed by parked
vehicles.
- Access highlight markings are not enforceable but are a useful and
effective way of highlighting an acccessway.
- Each application for an access highlight marking costs £30.
This fee is non-refundable.
- Each application is for the one-time marking of an access highlight
marking.
- We will approve access highlight markings for properly constructed
vehicular crossovers and where clearly defined parking problems exist.
- Lines will terminate in line with the highest point of the dropped
kerb.
- We are only able to provide these markings on the highway directly
by the accessway, and not on the opposite side of the road.
- In the absence of any agreed instruction to the contrary, the access
highlight marking (if approved) will be placed across the access(es)
to your property when the lining contractor is next in your area. This
may take several weeks but will avoid payment of the minimum contractor
charge for a specific visit of £250.00.
To apply for an access highlight marking please download the application
