Interesting opinion. Road markings were put there in the first place to
restrict drivers. Most road markings are there to enforce particular laws.

Incorrect. Most road markings are the white lines along the side of
roads and in the middle. (Most of) these do not indicate a
particular law (the major exception are solid lines in the middle of
the road), rather they are provided to allow motorists to drive
faster. The converse of removing these lines has the effect one
would expect.

Only some markings along the road indicate laws. Parking
restrictions and junctions being examples.
