8.04 Visibility of markings and markers

       (1) Each marking and marker must be clearly visible against the background and environment in which it is placed.

       (2) Unless the colour is otherwise stated in this Chapter, the selection of the surrounding colour for a marking must be white, grey or black, whichever if the most appropriate to provide sufficient contrast to ensure that the marking is clearly visible.

       (3) The width of a contrasting surround for a marking must be:

(a) for a line marking with a width up to and including 0.3 m — not less than the line width of the marking; and

(b) for a marking with a width greater than 0.3 m — not less than 0.3 m; and

(c) for all other markings — not more than 0.3 m.

8.05 Dimensions and tolerances of markings

       (1) Subject to subsection (2), markings required by this Chapter must meet the metric dimensions specified in this Chapter for the marking.

       (2) If it is not physically possible to comply with subsection (1), a marking may be:

(a) not more than 5% smaller than the dimensions specified for it; or

(b) not more than 5% or 0.1 m (whichever is the lesser) larger than the dimensions specified for it.

       (3) A tolerance mentioned in paragraph (2) (a) or (b) must be applied uniformly to the whole marking.

       (4) Despite subsection (2), the ratios for the height and width of markings must be preserved within the specifications in this Chapter for markings.

       (5) Despite subsection (2), the ratios between markings must be preserved within the specifications specified in this Chapter for markings.

(6) The letters, numbers and symbols provided in a marking must be in the form and proportions mentioned in section 8.69, unless otherwise provided for in this Chapter.
