摘要

Apparatus (10) for applying a preformed pad of a thermoplastics material to a line marking (11) on a road surface comprises a roller (12) which can be rolled along the line marking. The roller is provided with at least one recess (14a-14d) to receive the ribs individually and to transport each of the ribs individually to the line marking thereby to deposit the ribs on the line marking at spaced locations. Heating means (24) may be provided to soften the line marking before the ribs are applied thereto.
