Small solid bodies, installed on the sides of the road and in the middle between road markings, increase road safety by enhancing the night vision of road edges and alerting drivers if a vehicle deviates from the correct path or in cases of distraction. We will discuss how an aluminum road stud does all this and share its features that enhance road safety.
Road safety and What is an aluminum road stud made of?
As usual, Shawahid Industrial Roads Company takes care of all its traffic safety systems and products to achieve road safety, so we were keen to manufacture this type of road stud from solid aluminum. This increases road safety due to the road stud’s resistance to changing weather conditions and is highly resistant to the weight of various vehicles passing over it, as it withstands weights up to 55 tons.
On the front side of the aluminum road stud, there are glass beads that reflect the car lights falling on them. This part of road safety is based on physics: When light falls at any point on the glass beads in the aluminum road stud, the light beams are broken upon entering the glass beads and then refracted from that same point to exit the beads, illuminating the road and thus the body of the road stud itself.
Aluminum Road Stud Role in Road Safety
After discussing the parts of aluminum road stud, we can now guess what role aluminum cat eyes play in road safety.
Clarify Night Vision
While the glass beads reflect the lights of cars falling on them, the driver can see the edge or center of the road, and the road stud thus act as road markers enhancing road safety.
Distracted driving alerts
When the car passes over the aluminum road stud, it emits a sound as well as a vibration of the car, which alerts the driver if he is distracted and gets him back on the right track again, thus playing an important role in road safety.
