Watch: How yellow letters are drawn on roads
A city council has shared footage showing the process of drawing big yellow letters on roads.
A spokesperson for Nottingham City Council said: "It takes six months to a year to be fully competent working with the thermoplastic paint on active roads, which is mainly composed of a synthetic resin.
"Small glass beads are added to the liquid which reflect light."
The work is part of an £11m plan for improvements, external due to take place across Nottingham over the next two years.
