Road Line Marking for Adelaide and Regional South Australia
Quick answer: Line Marking Australia marks roads, kerbs, arrows and crossings across Adelaide and regional South Australia. On South Australian roads, pavement marking follows the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) pavement marking manual and AS 1742.2, and work on a live road needs a traffic management plan under AS 1742.3.

Who approves road line marking in Adelaide?
It depends on who owns the road. Arterial roads are managed by DIT, local roads by the council (for example Port Adelaide Enfield, Salisbury, Playford or Onkaparinga), and private estate and industrial roads by the owner. Council and DIT work needs their approval and a traffic management plan, while private roads only need the owner's sign-off and a safe work method.
Paint or thermoplastic on Adelaide roads?
Waterborne paint suits low-traffic and private roads. Thermoplastic line marking is thicker, more reflective and lasts several times longer under heavy traffic, so it is the usual choice for busy council and arterial roads.
We work across metropolitan Adelaide and regional SA, including Port Augusta, Whyalla, Mount Gambier and Murray Bridge. Read our road line marking standards guide, or see all our line marking in Adelaide services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Road line marking in South Australia follows the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) pavement marking manual together with AS 1742.2 for line types, widths and colours. Crossings follow AS 1742.10, rail level crossings AS 1742.7, and any work on a live road needs traffic management under AS 1742.3.
Line marking on an Adelaide local road needs approval from the council that manages it, such as Port Adelaide Enfield, Salisbury, Playford or Onkaparinga. Arterial roads are managed by DIT. Private estate and industrial roads only need the owner's approval and a safe work method.
Yes. Line Marking Australia marked the asphalt road approach to a rail level crossing at Warnertown, near Port Pirie, in May 2026. Level crossing approach marking follows AS 1742.7 and the rail operator's requirements.
Thermoplastic is better for busy Adelaide roads because it is thicker, more reflective at night and lasts several times longer than paint. Waterborne paint is cheaper and suits private roads, car parks and low-traffic streets.
Yes. Road marking in Adelaide is often done at night or early morning to reduce traffic disruption, as with the Enfield arrow and chevron re-mark in 2026. Night work needs a traffic management plan and, on council roads, the council's approval.
