Line markings are essential in controlling and guiding traffic. They act as life savers on urban roads and intersections and ensure road safety. It is important to have a smooth and consistent flow of traffic along our roads.
Road surface markings are, in fact, devices used to convey official information. They are used on paved roadways to provide guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians. Uniformity and standardization of the markings is an important factor in minimizing confusion and maximizing road safety. Road markings play a key role in reducing accidentsand managing traffic.
For ensuring a safe traffic, road markings should conform to certain standards and provide the following:
Day visibility : All pavement markings must have maximum daylight visibility. Whiteness is adjusted while painting. STRIPES is conscious of this and we make sure that our markings are laid down with top-quality paint and precision.
Night visibility: Our paint yields high visibility in low-light environments, maximizing safety for all vehicles.
Wet night visibility: This is an important consideration, as fog and rain can disturb the reflectivity. Our experts at STRIPES are conscious of this and know which materials work best in these situations.
In order to achieve improved night visibility, tiny glass beads are incorporated into the markings to produce a reflective surface.
Due to lack of standardised, proper road markings, there are frequent problems in safe and smooth movement of traffic. It is of utmost importance to regularly maintain your pavement. STRIPES offers regular maintenance utilizing new technologies in and around Ontario. We look to provide our clients with the highest quality of service. For us, safety is our top concern.
