ERF, RFB and Touring have inspected more than 600 km motorways in Belgium, and have come to the conclusion that the road markings need to be more visible and the maintenance should be improved.
The ERF survey found for Walloon that:
- 80% of road markings inspected comply with the old national specifications of 100 mcd/m2/lx (effective until 31 December 2015)
- 55 % of road markings inspected comply with the new national specifications of 150 mcd/m2/lx (effective as of 1 January 2016)
- 20% of road markings inspected should be replaced immediately
In Flanders the results were better, and the ERF survey found that:
- 70% of road markings inspected comply with the national specifications of 150 mcd/m2/lx.
- 20% of road markings inspected on should be marked again within the year
- 10% of road markings inspected should be renewed immediately
