TfL Ref: FOI-0757-2425
Thank you for your request which we received on 5 June 2024.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked:
- how often road markings on red routes are to be inspected to ensure they are visible and functional
- the criteria by which road markings are judged, and at what point TfL requires them to be repainted
TfL’s road maintenance process relating to road markings is detailed in the London Highways Alliance Contract, volume 2, service information (common) section 2.1. A copy has been provided to an FOI response before and can be accessed here: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-2679-2021
More information on inspection frequencies of road markings can be found here: file://pdc2cif003.onelondon.tfl.local/vdm2_data4$/EvaHextall/Data/Downloads/TfL%20inspection%20policy.pdf
In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
