The greatest responsibilities in the world are those that concern the lives of others, and one of the greatest of these responsibilities is the responsibility of road safety, or traffic safety in general, as almost all people in the world are exposed to roads on a daily basis, whether driving a vehicle or passing on the road, so securing the roads is imperative with reflective sheeting
Almost all traffic safety systems are provided with elements to enhance visibility, including high-light LED bulbs, reflective sheeting, or reflective strips to reflect the lights of cars on the road. Among these elements, we highlight the importance of reflective sheeting because of its obvious benefits that contribute to increasing traffic safety and supporting the economy.
reflective sheeting contributes to clarifying the boundaries of the road and can be used in areas where it is difficult to connect to the electricity grid, so reflective films are an ideal choice, especially in desert areas or roads with large distances.
It also contributes to the visibility of the instructions of traffic signs on the road, which contributes to knowing the allowed speeds or the direction of travel to a specific place, so it is a triple contribution that starts with supporting traffic safety systems, through saving fuel costs in the event that the driver has lost the road by not noticing the sign, and finally in reducing the number of traffic violations incurred by the driver for not paying attention to the speed limit.
In the first place, reflective sheeting contribute to supporting the economy as it is an environmentally friendly product that does not consume any energy source, but rather performs its function by reflecting the lights of oncoming cars with high efficiency, as we will discuss in the next paragraph, in addition to several other characteristics that are very important elements for every road safety official looking for a real development that ensures a significant improvement in traffic safety, including the following.
reflective sheeting is one of the most efficient and quick-to-install components of traffic safety systems, as they can be installed quickly, with few workers, and without the need for special equipment, which means no disruption to road traffic during the work.
In addition to being an element that does not consume any energy source, reflective sheeting is also economical in price compared to the benefits provided, especially when they are high-quality reflective films such as those produced by Shawahid Industrial Road.
Given the nature of reflective sheeting, it is easy to realize that they can be installed on all traffic safety products and systems, in general, to make them easier to see and thus increase their efficiency, as reflective sheeting can be used as an essential component in some systems such as:
It also can be considered an auxiliary factor in many other systems such as shock absorber systems to increase traffic safety and also save the costs of repairing or replacing the systems by reducing the chances of collision.
In general, reflective sheeting are similar in their function, but the most important elements to focus on are the strength of the reflectivity, and the long life of the product, and here lies the dividing point that distinguishes us in industrial road signs, as our reflective sheeting feature a high-quality light reflection rate, which ensures the highest rate of reflection without harming the visibility of the road itself.
They also feature a protective coating that ensures longevity by protecting the films against weather and dust, so that the reflective films remain clear and the efficiency does not decrease over time.
Given the mountainous nature of Saudi Arabia and most of the Gulf countries in general, cylindrical barriers are an ideal choice to increase traffic safety in obstacle areas and off-road areas.
As Shawahid Co. is the leader in traffic safety systems in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and occupies a prestigious position in the Middle East and the world, we had to provide a distinctive range of systems and products that are supported by reflective films, including:
And other systems that can be seen on our product page.
Shawahid Group seeks to continuously support traffic safety and the environment, which makes us focus on producing highly efficient systems that serve traffic safety and support the economy and the environment as part of our vision to create the future of safety roads.
