In Russia, they asked to make the markings on the roads less slippery

In Russia, it was proposed to amend the regulatory documentation and change the composition for applying road markings so that they become abrasive and slip-resistant. This was reported by TASS on July 31.

The author of the initiative, Dmitry Gusev, First Deputy head of the Fair Russia For Truth faction, addressed it to Andrey Nikitin, Minister of Transport. The politician explained that motorcyclists are often injured due to slippery road markings, which become especially dangerous in the rain.

The parliamentarian pointed out that in some situations, slippery road markings can provoke accidents in the case of motorists. But for motorcyclists, such a surface is slippery when hitting or maneuvering, both in the rain and in the heat, as a result, "marking necessarily leads to accidents with serious consequences," he stressed.

In addition, Gusev drew attention to the danger of the construction of road rope bumpers, which represent a "dangerous trap for motorcyclists." He called for changes to the regulatory documentation and for the cable bump to be supplemented with a special metal strip so that motorcyclists could avoid injury when falling.
