CARRIAGEWAY COLOURING 8.13 Consideration should be given to applying a contrasting surface colour within bus stop areas at selected stops where the level of parking infringement within the bus bay has proved to be a particular problem.The most suitable and readily available colour is red. Durability, colourfastness and skid resistance of selected materials must be ensured.The recommendation for Northern Ireland is that the full width of the bus bay, within the prescribed carriageway marking, is treated (See Photo 8f).As with the bus bay, enforcement is necessary to ensure that the coloured markings do not fall into disrepute.
