Black and white kerb markings
Black and white kerb markings
Does anyone know for certain what the black and white kerb markings mean that are appearing just about everywhere? I have googled the question a few times and for the first time ever I haven't been able to find the answer to a query.

They are painted so that people who don't know why will see them easier and not run into them and damage a wheel.

I too just thought the kerbs were painted to show up better

I think it is to keep council workers busy so they have no time to fill in the potholes in the road .

In Polis outside the Tourist Info building and down to the entrance of the pay n display they are marked out. I assume it means no parking or "for buses'
" as they seem to park there frequently. Mind you, so does everybody else!

Re: Black and white kerb markings
Nothing to do with parking, rather just to highlight kerbs, this end of the island we have alot of roundabouts painted this way.
Re: Black and white kerb markings
Thanks for all your replies. I am thinking more that it is to highlight the kerb having now seen a picture and something like "warning of kerb construction". At first I thought no parking but they are everywhere and surely people can't be banned from parking along almost every bit of roadside. There are yellow lines for no parking.

Re: Black and white kerb markings
The Cyprus Highway Code makes no mention of kerb markings, so I guess must be a little quirky thing that municipalities do to use up left over paint. I should add, nothings ever black or white

Re: Black and white kerb markings
Perhaps if they have some white paint left over they could highlight the numerous speed bumps.
Re: Black and white kerb markings
But do they paint the first kerb Black.....or White....a technical question....
Re: Black and white kerb markings
I wouldn't be too sure about that! Was he supervised, or just given some paint and a brush and let loose? I read in the CM about some numpty who painted a cycle path around cars parked in the way

I think it was proven to be fake
Re: Black and white kerb markings
I just googled it and yes they were painted but apparently it was a prank

And it’s the same in the lay-by at the top of the Polis road opposite To-Tavernaki
