Road marking norms by country

The document each country's road markings come from, a link to the regulator, and the dimensions CapCad draws from it — read straight out of the drawing engine, so this page and the software always agree.

Norms

Published by the issuing body — we link to the source rather than host a copy, because these documents get revised.

PM 34 Tahun 2014 tentang Marka Jalan, as amended by PM 67 Tahun 2018
Kementerian Perhubungan · 2018
Line widths and cadences, the double line rules and their separation limits, and the colour article. The 2018 amendment replaced the whole annex and made yellow an identifier of national roads rather than a traffic rule.
PM 13 Tahun 2014 tentang Rambu Lalu Lintas
Kementerian Perhubungan · 2014
Sign numbering and sheet sizes. Codes carry no letter prefix and are scoped per table, so the same code means different signs in different tables. Stop, give way and the speed limit are all prohibition signs.
Pd T-12-2004-B, Penempatan Marka Jalan
Direktorat Jenderal Bina Marga · 2004
The hatched and chevron marking geometry, which the transport regulation does not give: stripe and border widths, spacing, and the 45 degree angle to the direction of travel.
Pedoman Desain Geometrik Jalan, Nomor 13/P/BM/2021
Direktorat Jenderal Bina Marga · 2021
Stopping and overtaking sight distances. This pedoman expressly revoked the 1997 inter-urban geometric standard.

UK-TSRGD-1041 (tipo 2) 1.26 0.15 0.2 90 TSM cap. 5 fig. 2-16, diagrama 1041, alternativa 2. ATENÇÃO: a linha de bordo desta alternativa é 6000/3000 e o único linetype que o Dashed sabe carregar é o '1004' (4000/2000). Fica a cadência errada até existir a camada 6000/3000 — não inventei camada nova.
