We were not aware of any requirement to use thermoplastic, just that a
(white) stop line to diag 1001 (TSRGD) should be installed.
We have used white sticky road marking tape and even spray paint so cannot
see any reason why white granite blocks would not suffice.
The legality as we see it lies in the dimensions, the location and the
alignment. Hope they get it right first time !
However, wet granite is not the first material we would think of with
adequate skid resistance.

Please respond to

We are replacing an existing traffic signal control installation within our
city centre. A significant investment in materials is to be made as the
final scheme will figure centrally in our public realm. Granite will be
used in the carriageway construction and we are seeking alternatives to
thermoplastic to define the signal controlled stop lines. The possibility
of a contrasting white granite has been tabled as an option. I'm aware of
the relevant BSI that lining materials must adhere to and tolerances on
stopline widths etc, but the alternative of thermoplastic on granite is not
entirely attractive.
Has anyone used anything other than thermpolastic to deliniate stop lines
at traffic signal control junctions in public realm schemes?
