Cycle Route Preformed Thermoplastic Road Marking

Our ‘Cycles Only’ preformed thermoplastic road marking is perfect for use along routes which are for cycles only. This marking is used along off-road routes that are for cycles only. This is usually where the main road route is unsuitable for cyclists due to traffic or the local topography.

You could also use this marking in combination with a post mounted cycle route sign to highlight the route set for cyclist. Find our full range of post mounted road signs can be found in our signage section here.

Key Features

• Easy Application - No special knowledge, talent or years at art school required, just a clean surface and a gas heat gun.
• Professional Appearance - These markings always look good due to their pre-cut design.
• Fast To Install - Minimal surface preparation is required for these markings, with a worst-case scenario requiring an application of primer.
• Non-Slip - Apply glass bead to enhance the traction of your marking, both for pedestrians and vehicles.
• Conforms - BS EN 1871

Dual-Colour

If you want this symbol with a blue background this is the option for you. Please note that these signs have no legal standing and should be used for cycle-specific areas only.

Monochromatic

These markings only use white and have no background to them. These are used for on-road cycle routes and repeater markers.

Choose From An Array of Sizes

Depending on the application you may require an array of cycle route marking sizes. We can provide any size required, but keep an array of “standard” sizes ready to go.

Application Of Our Cycle Route Road Marking

Applying our cycle route road marking is very easy. Firstly the area must be cleaned of all loose debris, oil, grease and salts. Once this is done you are ready to get going. If your road surface is old tarmac, concrete or block paving then you will need to use our fast-drying primer.

Once you have fully prepped the surface the roundel can be set out. Once you are happy with the marking positioning a heat gun can be used to melt the marking to the road surface. For additional traction glass bead can be sprinkled over the surface, this is fused into the marking with the further application of heat.

Thermoplastic On Block Paving

Thermoplastic on block paving is known to be more difficult to apply and has a substantially shorter lifetime than on bituminous surfaces, such as tarmac.

Block paving is not a solid structure. Most of the time, they are put down and sand is added into the grooves, so over time when moisture creeps in as well as moss, movement can be made within 2 blocks, making the material crack and fail.
