Micromobility
Designing cities for people, not just cars
Safer cities begin with visible markings
Micromobility is a term used for smaller and more sustainable ways of getting around, such as bicycles, e-bikes, and e-scooters. As more people choose these forms of transport, cities need infrastructure that helps different road users share the road safely. Clear markings help separate traffic, reduce confusion, and guide people through busy city streets. By defining dedicated spaces and routes, markings help create safer and more comfortable journeys for everyone.
Why safe routes matter
For many people, feeling safe is what makes the difference between cycling and leaving the bike at home. Research shows that a lack of perceived safety remains one of the main barriers to cycling. In fact, more than half of non-cyclists in the study say they would be encouraged to cycle if routes were clearly marked.* This demonstrates how even simple infrastructure improvements can create safer, more inclusive streets and support greater uptake of cycling and micromobility.

Why markings matter
Micromobility routes are exposed to continuous use from cyclists, scooter riders, and pedestrians. To remain effective, markings need to maintain their visibility, colour, and skid resistance over time.
Our road marking solutions are designed to deliver long-lasting performance while helping create safer, clearer, and more attractive routes for everyday users. Whether you are upgrading existing infrastructure or planning new routes, the right markings can make a real difference.
Let us guide you on the way to safter city streets.
Supporting the shift towards sustainable mobility
Micromobility plays an important role in creating healthier, safer, and more sustainable cities. By making cycling routes easy to identify and navigate, markings help support active transport while improving accessibility and reducing conflicts between different road users. Well-designed infrastructure encourages more people to choose cycling and other forms of micromobility for their everyday journeys.
Looking for ways to make micromobility safer?
Small improvements can make a big difference. Our Micromobility brochure highlights how targeted infrastructure upgrades and the right combination of road markings can enhance safety, improve navigation, and create a better experience for cyclists and other vulnerable road users.
Cycle lanes
Clear cycle lanes help separate cyclists and micromobility users from other traffic. Our range of paint and plural components provide durable, highly visible markings with excellent colour retention and skid resistance, helping create safer and more intuitive routes.
Wayfinding & symbols
Clear symbols and directional markings help users stay on route and navigate confidently through busy city intersections. Our PREMARK™ range includes a wide selection of symbols designed to support clear and intuitive guidance.
Micromobility parking
Designated parking areas help organise bicycles, e-bikes, and e-scooters while reducing clutter in public spaces. A brightly painted MMA surface combined with a clear preformed symbol makes parking zones easy to identify and encourages proper use, helping create a more organised and accessible streetscape.
School streets
School zones require extra attention to vulnerable road users. Coloured MMA surfaces, durable preformed symbols, and anti-slip markings help improve visibility, increase awareness, and create safer routes and crossing points for children and parents.
