Solid Glass Road Studs
Solid Glass Road Studs for Safer Journeys.
The REFLECT-IT Solid Glass Road Stud range significantly enhances road safety by employing advanced omnidirectional retro-reflection technology. This innovative approach allows the road studs to reflect incoming light directly back to its source, resulting in superior visibility for drivers, particularly during low-light conditions such as dusk, nighttime, or inclement weather.
The unique design of REFLECT-IT studs enables them to effectively capture and return light from all directions, thereby providing a comprehensive 360-degree angle of visibility. This feature is crucial for ensuring that drivers can easily identify lane markings and potential hazards, promoting safer driving practices on busy roadways.
In addition to their primary application on highways, these road studs are versatile enough to be utilised in a variety of architectural settings. Their aesthetic appeal and practical functionality make them suitable for car parks, multi-storey car parks, and commercial premises, where both visibility and safety are important considerations.
The durability and weather resistance of REFLECT-IT Solid Glass Road Studs further enhances their performance, ensuring that they maintain their effectiveness over time, regardless of environmental conditions. Overall, these road studs represent a reliable solution for improving road safety and facilitating better navigation for all road users.
Solid Glass Road Stud Benefits
Full Visibility
Glass road studs are designed with a full dome that extends above the road surface, ensuring maximum visibility from all angles. This feature is particularly advantageous on winding roads, hills, or in low-light conditions, as the studs can be seen not only directly ahead but also from side angles. Enhanced visibility contributes to safer driving, as motorists can better judge their positioning in relation to the road boundaries, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
Cost Efficiency
In the realm of road safety solutions, glass road studs present a more economical choice. Their long lifespan, typically surpassing that of traditional reflective studs, means that fewer replacements are needed over time. When considering both the initial installation cost and long-term maintenance expenses, glass road studs emerge as a cost-effective investment for municipalities and road maintenance authorities, ultimately leading to reduced overall expenditure in maintaining road safety equipment.
Self-Cleaning Properties
The unique domed shape of glass road studs facilitates a natural self-cleaning mechanism. Their design allows dust and debris to easily wash away with rain or other water methods, preventing the accumulation of grime that often hampers the visibility of traditional road markers. This self-cleaning quality significantly reduces the need for manual maintenance, allowing for a more sustainable and low-maintenance infrastructure solution.
Exceptional Durability
Glass road studs boast impressive durability, with a compressive strength that exceeds that of most traditional road studs. Rigorous testing confirms their resilience; when subjected to the force of a 1.04kg solid steel ball dropped from a height of 1.5 meters, these studs exhibit no signs of cracking or damage. Such strength not only ensures longevity in various weather conditions but also means that they can withstand heavy vehicular impact, making them a reliable element of road safety.
Enhanced Nighttime Visibility
The inherent reflective properties of glass road studs provide excellent nighttime visibility. Unlike some traditional studs that may fade in brightness over time, glass road studs maintain their reflective capabilities, shining brightly under vehicle headlights. This feature significantly aids nighttime navigation, allowing drivers to have clear, immediate guidance along roadways, thus enhancing overall road safety during the darker hours.
Lifetime
REFLECT-IT glass road studs are engineered to have an estimated lifespan of approximately 15 times greater than that of traditional plastic reflective markers. Their robust design allows them to endure the rigours of varying weather conditions and heavy traffic, often outlasting the road surface they are installed on, thereby ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Decarbonisation of Street Lighting Assets
By increasing the number of retro-reflective points on roadways, REFLECT-IT studs can significantly reduce, or even completely eliminate, the reliance on street lighting. This innovative approach not only contributes to cost savings for local governments but also mitigates light pollution, which can disrupt natural habitats and negatively impact the well-being of both humans and wildlife. Enhanced visibility from these reflective markers supports safer navigation at night without the environmental consequences associated with traditional street lighting.
Route-Edge Delineation
REFLECT-IT road studs provide clear and precise delineation of carriageway edges and designated routes through the use of specialised colour schemes. This visual guidance enhances safety by helping drivers and pedestrians easily identify road boundaries, thereby reducing the risk of accidents, especially in low-light conditions.
Colours
The versatility of REFLECT-IT road studs is evident in the range of colours available. Standard options include White, while special requests can be made for additional colours such as Green, Red, Blue, and Amber. This customised colour selection allows for tailored applications based on specific roadway needs or authority requirements.
Dimensions - Sizes
With a diameter of 100mm and a height protrusion of either 14mm or 19mm, REFLECT-IT road studs are designed to be highly visible yet unobtrusive. This size ensures that they can be installed seamlessly into existing roadways, promoting safety without significant obstruction.
KERBEYE Pairable
REFLECT-IT road studs can be effectively paired with KERBEYE technology, creating an integrated road safety system. This combination enhances reflective visual navigation and emphasises raised infrastructure features. It serves as a guiding tool for road users while also aiding pedestrians in safely navigating crossings, thus fostering a safer and more efficient transportation environment for all road users.
