Faded worn road markings and cats eyes.

Maybe its cheap paint - maybe its a new type of road surface - causes the paint to come off easy -maybe its heavy EVs.

Yes, could be one, or more, of those. Or something else.

Got any ideas then.

Lack of maintenance, more traffic? I really don't know.

Different paint.
Different road surface (to which the paint was applied).
Greater traffic volume.
Changed traffic profile using the road (more HGVs, for example).
Heavier vehicles (average car weight - even discounting EVs, which didn't exist until relatively recently - has increased markedly).
More rain.
Hotter spells, more frequently.
Less frequent maintenance / replacement.

There are probably many more possible causes / contributory factors.

They should use the same type of paint they use for yellow lines, they never seem to fade as much, though if they do they repaint them quickly, so it must be much cheaper.

I know its not a paint as such because its a hot melt thing but I am sure that they must just use emulsion paint now to save money.
