Summary
Specialized profession that installs lines, arrows, crosswalks, and other markings on road surfaces to support traffic safety.
Description
Road marking installers are specialists who apply various markings such as lines, crosswalks, arrows, and parking space lines on road and parking lot surfaces. The work begins with cleaning the surface and applying primer for preparation, followed by masking with tape, and then painting using spray guns or thermoplastic resin spraying machines. After application, drying and curing are done, followed by quality inspection to ensure long-term durability and visibility. Since it is outdoor work, attention is paid to weather and temperature conditions, and safety is maintained in collaboration with traffic guides. Technologies are required to achieve accurate and uniform line widths and colors based on JIS standards and local government construction criteria.
Future Outlook
While stable demand is expected due to the need for road infrastructure maintenance and management, labor shortages pose a challenge. Acquiring skills in automated machinery and high-value-added paint application technologies will lead to increased market value.
