Zambia’s Road Development Agency (RDA) has taken a decisive step in upgrading the nation’s transportation safety infrastructure with the launch of one of its largest-ever road marking projects. The newly issued national tender calls for the supply of 31,000 bags of yellow thermoplastic road marking paint (25 kg each), 22,000 bags of white paint (25 kg each), and a substantial volume of reflective glass beads (5 kg each) for application across all ten provinces. The project’s aim is clear: to improve visibility, durability, and safety standards on both urban and rural roads, marking a milestone in the country’s long‑term transportation development plan.

The 2025 RDA procurement is part of Zambia’s Annual Road Sector Work Plan, encompassing routine maintenance and safety enhancements for trunk, main, and district roads. The scope spans Lusaka, Ndola, Kasama, Solwezi, Mongu, Choma, Kabwe, Chipata, Mansa, and Chinsali—a complete cross‑country initiative designed to standardize road markings to modern reflective and wear‑resistant specifications.
The combination of thermoplastic paint with reflective glass beads ensures improved night‑time visibility and resilience under Zambia’s demanding traffic and weather conditions. Clear, reflective markings have been proven globally to reduce road accident rates, especially in low‑light and rainy environments.
The RDA’s tender demands materials that meet both international and local technical standards, such as BS 3262 and AASHTO M249, alongside its own project‑specific requirements. The quantities—31,000 yellow and 22,000 white 25 kg bags—represent a substantial investment in safety upgrades, while the reflective beads will be applied to ensure markings remain visible to drivers in all light conditions.
