The motorist relies on pavement markings for guidance, car positioning, and information. Unless all markings are uniform, motorists may be confused and uncertain of the purpose of the markings. If markings are worn or incorrect, they should be repainted and corrected in accordance with local regulations.

Markings have definite and important functions to perform in traffic control. In some cases, they are used to supplement the regulations or warning of other devices such as traffic signs or signals.  In other instances, they are used alone to convey certain regulation and warnings, which would not be obtainable, by any other devices.  Pavement markings have limitations.  They may be covered by snow, may not be clearly visible when wet, or may not be durable when subjected to heavy traffic.  In spite of these limitations, they have the advantage of conveying warnings or information to drivers without diverting their attention from the roadway.  Before any parking lot or roadway is open to traffic, all necessary pavement markings must be in place, clearly visible and in accordance with local regulations.  Pavement markings, which are no longer applicable, should be removed immediately to avoid possible confusion to the motorist.
