Do road markings painted on the road surface have any influence on tire grip?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Horizontal road markings painted on the asphalt are a critical point for road safety, especially for two-wheeled vehicles such as mopeds and motorcycles. The compounds and resins of this paint offer a smoother, less porous surface than the conventional road surface, which lowers the friction coefficient. This loss of grip gets drastically worse when it rains or the road is wet, making the markings extremely slippery and increasing the risk of skids and falls. It is therefore false that they do not alter grip or that they improve it; when approaching pedestrian crossings, arrows or solid lines, you must slow down and avoid braking or leaning the moped abruptly on them.
