Road markings play a critical role in guiding drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. They provide clear visual instructions that help to prevent accidents, manage traffic flow, and maintain order on our roads. Properly applied and maintained road markings are vital for:
Road marking visibility at night can only be achieved by the addition of tiny solid glass beads during the application of thermoplastic line. Maximum reflectivity of individual glass beads occurs when the optimum degree of embedment is achieved. This happens when 60% of the bead is below the surface of the pavement marking materials.
Optimum retro-reflective requires round sphere. Non-round spheres do not reflect light efficiently but scatter it in random directions.
