Kaistamerkinnät

Kaistamerkinnät, also known as "kaista" in Finnish, are a type of road marking used to indicate the direction of traffic flow on a road. They are typically found on roads with two or more lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Kaistamerkinnät are designed to improve traffic flow and safety by clearly indicating the boundaries of each lane and the direction of travel.

There are several types of kaistamerkinnät, including solid lines, dashed lines, and double lines. Solid lines are used to indicate the boundaries of a lane and are typically used to separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Dashed lines are used to indicate the boundaries of a lane and are typically used to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. Double lines are used to indicate the boundaries of a lane and are typically used to separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction.

Kaistamerkinnät are typically painted on the road surface using specialized equipment and materials. They are designed to be highly visible and durable, even in adverse weather conditions. Regular maintenance is required to ensure that kaistamerkinnät remain visible and effective.

In addition to their role in traffic management, kaistamerkinnät also play an important role in road safety. By clearly indicating the boundaries of each lane and the direction of travel, they help to reduce the risk of accidents and improve overall traffic flow.
