Restricted area marking: profile solution for greater safety
Restricted area markings are indispensable for ensuring safety and complying with legal regulations on roads, car parks and in business premises. They define non-accessible zones and make a decisive contribution to optimising traffic flow and effectively defusing potential danger spots. Thanks to their eye-catching design, they help to prevent accidents and ensure the orderly movement of people and vehicles.
As a leading expert, MTS Floor Marking offers customised solutions that are not only durable and precise, but also compliant with strict safety regulations. With in-depth expertise and a focus on quality, MTS Floor Marking supports companies in making their environments safe and compliant with all relevant regulations.
What are restricted area markings?
Restricted area markings are special floor markings that give clear instructions on the use of certain road areas as well as industrial halls and their outdoor areas. They mark areas that may not be driven on or used for parking for safety or organisational reasons. These markings are characterised by the white-edged slash pattern (slash grid), which visually demarcates the areas and controls the flow of traffic. This minimises conflicts between different road users.
Zigzag lines, on the other hand, extend or reduce the boundary markings of stopping and parking bans and specifically regulate parking along roadsides. Cycle lanes can be marked in a similar way to restricted areas to prohibit the passage of motor vehicles and ensure the safety of cyclists. Such restricted area markings support traffic management by providing clear visual signals for certain types of behaviour in road traffic.
Areas of application for restricted area markings
On the outside, particularly at junctions, they improve traffic management by clearly separating left-turn lanes from straight-ahead traffic, thus reducing the risk of collisions between moving and waiting vehicles. Smaller diagonal gates with narrower line spacing are specially designed for urban areas to create order in busy city centres.
In industrial plants and warehouses, fire extinguishers, emergency exits and escape doors are marked to keep access clear and visible. Restricted area markings are also used in parking areas and public spaces, such as traffic islands, to create visual protection zones and minimise the risk of accidents. Restricted area markings can also often be found in fire service access routes, which are used to keep vital routes clear at all times.
Advantages of professional restricted area markings
By labelling clearly defined areas as no-go zones, the risk of accidents is significantly reduced. This contributes to the safety of all road users and ensures that companies and public institutions comply with legal safety standards and thus avoid legal consequences.
Professional restricted area markings facilitate the management of operational processes and efficiently direct the flow of people and vehicles. This is particularly important in densely populated or highly frequented areas such as large cities and industrial plants. Effective traffic management that prevents congestion and overloading is crucial here. In industrial areas, areas such as switch boxes or lifts are clearly labelled, which increases safety in the workplace.
Techniques and materials for restricted area markings from MTS Bodenmarkierung
MTS floor markings utilise high-quality materials and modern technology for long-lasting, low-maintenance road markings. Our colours are based on modified epoxy resins that are extremely resistant to abrasion, oils, fuels and weathering and rarely need to be replaced.
MTS follows clear colour guidelines when applying the restricted area markings: White colour is used for restricted areas on roads and in public areas. In industrial plants and warehouses, colours such as yellow, green, red or orange are used to mark different safety zones.
Our innovation:
MASL marking system
All surfaces in production, storage and industrial halls are among the most heavily frequented areas. Floor markings on these surfaces are constantly exposed to the highest demands due to the permanent stress.
We have developed a special marking system for industrial applications to minimise premature wear and thus the risk of accidents:
The MASL SYSTEM – multiple abrasive spray layer.
This material is the answer to the highest demands. Extreme adhesion coupled with low susceptibility to soiling and resistance to chemical and mechanical stresses.

FAQ’s
Frequently asked questions
Why are professional markings in underground car parks important?
Professional markings are essential for safety and organisation in underground car parks. They help to regulate the flow of traffic, prevent accidents and ensure maximum utilisation of the available parking space.
What legal requirements must be observed for underground parking markings?
Underground car park markings must fulfil certain legal requirements, which are set out in the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and the German Garage Ordinance (GaVO). These include regulations on the width of parking spaces, the marking of escape routes, the prescribed colour tones for the respective area of application and compliance with accessibility requirements.
How much does an underground parking garage marking from MTS cost?
The cost of underground car park markings varies depending on the size of the area to be marked, the specific requirements and the materials selected. An individual consultation with MTS will help to analyse your specific needs and provide you with a precise quote.
How long does it take MTS to mark an underground parking garage?
The duration of the marking work depends on the size of the underground car park and the complexity of the desired markings. Smaller projects can often be completed within a day, while larger projects require more time. We do everything we can to minimise the disruption to your business and work efficiently.
