School Keep Clear Road Markings (countywide) (Monday 17 August to Friday 11 September)

As part of a countywide road-marking programme, School Keep Clear markings outside schools across Buckinghamshire will be refreshed.

School Keep Clear markings are the yellow zig-zag markings located outside school entrances, helping to keep the area clear of parked vehicles and maintain visibility for pedestrians and road users.

Works will take place at schools across Buckinghamshire during the summer holiday period to minimise disruption, including Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Chesham, Amersham, Beaconsfield, Wexham and various other schools across Buckinghamshire.

Traffic management measures will vary depending on the site, but the works will mainly be carried out overnight so disruptions will be limited.

-Capital Lining Refresh (countywide) (Monday 17 August to Friday 16 October)

As part of a countywide road-marking programme across Buckinghamshire, worn road markings will be refreshed and reinstated where required to help maintain visibility and safety for all road users.

The programme includes the renewal of road markings such as centre lines, give way markings, road studs, high friction surfacing, lane markings and other carriageway markings that have deteriorated through normal wear and tear.

Works will take place at various locations across Buckinghamshire, including Aylesbury, Buckingham, Beachampton, High Wycombe, Wing, Amersham and various other highly frequented roads across the county.
