Road studs, also known as raised pavement markings, we are talking about the kind that are usually used on highways and urban roads. It is a road safety device made of materials such as plastic or aluminum. It can be placed alone or according to the marking line. Used to mark centerlines, lane lines, edge lines, corners, ramp entrances and exits, diversion markings, road narrowing, road obstacles and other road sections, fixed on the road surface, reminding drivers to drive into the correct lane through its implicit reflection.
As we all know, road studs are mainly used to remind drivers to pay attention to safe driving, especially in the case of rainy days or dark nights, the markings are flooded by rain and cannot function. Since the height is usually around 2 cm, even if rainwater accumulates on the road, the driver can still see its reflector. In addition to this, spikes play an important role in warning the driver to keep cool while driving by creating a jolt effect for the driver when the vehicle is run over.
In addition, road studs have another function: if they are densely installed on the road surface, they can act as convex lines and slow down. But only all-aluminum road studs have the characteristics of high compressive strength, which are usually used for double yellow lines. Many countries in the Middle East tend to use all-aluminum road studs instead of convex lines, because drawing convex lines requires the purchase of expensive vibration markers, and it is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In contrast, road studs are not only cheaper than convex lines, but also relatively easy to install, so it is more cost-effective to use road studs instead of convex lines when the project volume is not large.
