Overview

What PreMark preformed markings are

PreMark is a preformed thermoplastic for the symbols and legends on BC roads: turn arrows, speed legends, bicycle and accessible-parking symbols, school zone and bus stop markings, in TAC-standard shapes. Every piece is manufactured to exact dimensions, so there are no irregular edges and no overspray, and it is heat-applied to asphalt or concrete with retroreflective glass beads embedded in the material — faster to install than spray marking. Square One installs it across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, on its own and alongside green bike lanes and TrafficPatterns™ crossings.

Colours

PreMark colours, off the published card

PreMark carries its own colour range, published by the manufacturer as a colour card. Name the colour on the drawing; the sample comes to the site visit, because a screen is not the material.
