It’s not the cat’s eyes that come to mind, but road studs. Despite their small size, these cat’s eyes are essential to traffic safety.
Difference between Road Studs and cat’s eyes
The studs were designed to replicate the glow from real cat’s eyes when reflecting light in the dark, which led to their iconic name. These studs are vital for traffic safety, helping reduce accidents by ensuring better visibility.
What is the function of a Road Studs?
The road stud reflects the light from car headlights falling on them, so the light enters the glass beads, and then the rays are reflected and refracted as they exit the glass beads and fall to the ground. Cat’s eyes clarify the boundaries of the road and increase visibility at night and in bad weather conditions, providing high protection for drivers and road users.
In addition, a cat’s eyes generate a vibration that alerts the driver if the driver is distracted or distracted, and a sound when a car passes over them.

Aluminum studs consist of glass beads and are considered the main part of the road stud. The glass beads reflect the lights of the car falling on them, illuminating the boundaries of the road and its lanes, thus clarifying the road for the driver and paying attention to his boundaries, which is a great protection for drivers from deviating from the road or the lane allocated to them. This is what we mentioned in the previous paragraph.
As for the structure of the cat’s eyes, they are made of solid aluminum that can withstand high weights of up to 30 tons. It also withstands different weather conditions.
