Cold plastic marking is paving the way for safer roads

Cold plastic transverse bar markings are the smarter, smoother, and safer alternative; they are long-lasting, simple to see, and regularly tested in real-world traffic conditions. It's time to make every journey safer, without the bumps.

A new approach to maintaining road safety

AEvery traveller understands the sensation of a sudden bump, a rattling shock, or a strip across the road that disrupts a smooth journey. For years, we have depended on traditional ways to reduce traffic and improve safety, such as bituminous speed bumps and thermoplastic rumble strips. However, these solutions frequently leave much to be desired. They can be uncomfortable, wear out rapidly, or fail to stand out in inclement weather and heavy traffic. That's where cold plastic transverse bar marks come in: a modern, durable, and environmentally friendly option that's changing the game. These marks can replace redundant systems, making driving easier and safer for everyone.

What's wrong with old-school speed control?

Bituminous speed bumps are more trouble than they're worth

Bituminous rumble strips consisting of asphalt-based materials struggle to travel long distances. Shape and form retention are difficult to achieve and maintain under traffic and weather, and they frequently lose their shape. They also become slick when wet, which is bad news for motorcycles and cyclists. They have low vision both during the day and at night, making roads less safe than they should be.

Thermoplastic rumble strips: fading away

Thermoplastic rumble strips are prevalent, featuring raised patterns that notify drivers by vibration and sound. However, they have a brief lifespan. The combination of heavy cars and harsh weather causes these strips to flatten and lose effectiveness. Over time, the markers fade, nighttime vision deteriorates, and regular maintenance becomes an expensive burden.
