Taxiway Surface Marking

Taxiways are defined as the paths that are used for the taxiing of aircraft from one part of an airport to another. Taxiway centerlines are marked to provide a visual identification of the designated taxiing path. Have you ever been to the airport or had an aircraft trip experience? When you are inside the aircraft, and when you are peeping through the window when landing or take off, you might have looked at some yellow, white, or black lines moving towards the runway, right?

The benefits of going for decorative concrete surfaces

Image
One thinks about concrete surfaces and the first thing that comes to the mind is the drab and dreary gray shade without any patterns or visual hues. As a result, these public areas remain what they are – dull slabs to the stone that offer zero aesthetic appeal. However constant innovation in new-age concrete overlay technology has changed this perception for the better and brought about the advent of  decorative concrete surfaces . We now see beautifully designed public areas like driveways, sidewalks, median intersections, and crosswalks. The curb appeal of such areas has gone up tremendously. With a range of design, patterns, colors, and textures now possible on the pavements, the people using these streets too appreciate the bright look radiate by these surfaces. The reason behind this is the application of cutting-edge concrete polymers like Endurablend.

How buffered bike lanes offer additional safety value to cyclists?

Image
A buffered bike lane is a great way to clearly demarcate the boundaries within which bikes and motor vehicles can run without colliding with each other. With rising car density, bikers are wary of operating on the same roads where these motor vehicles run. This is why many municipalities have come up with the idea of a bike lane that segregates the two modes of transportation. When a biker gets into a car lane, there is always a danger of facing nicks and scrapes from four-wheelers. With a dedicated bike lane, this risk is eliminated effectively. Conversely, even motor vehicles were wary of driving on roads that had a high percentage of cyclists running on the road. With inadvertent lane changes and sudden movement, they can pose a safety risk to themselves as well as to the motor vehicle owner. This is why green bike lanes have emerged as a win-win for both parties. Why a green bike lane needs to be buffered? A typical layout of a regular bike lane is that a thin line separa...

Why airport runway markings are crucial for flight operations?

Even the busiest air traveler would have been mesmerized by the intricate and detailed marketing present on the surface of taxiways and runways. For the untrained eye they may looking like a random arrangement of arrows, lines, dashes, and dots. It is interesting to note that every marking like the  runway centerline marking  denotes an important point and is needed for safe takeoffs and landing of the aircraft. Some of the key types of  runway markings  cover runway designation, threshold markers and touchdown zones. Many pilots, ATC technicians, and ground staff also rely on centerlines and runway aiming point markings so that the aircraft doesn’t overshoot the runway surfaces and go beyond the end of the runway in an attempt to make a landing.

What are the benefits of road markings on paved roads? A company dealing in road markings would corroborate the fact that such guiding pointers actually help regulate the traffic and help motorists to ensure driving discipline. They are typically used on paved roadways to indicate to the motorists and pedestrians about the different ways in which the cars and bikes need to ply on the roads. With an increase in the number of cars plying the roads, it is important that these markings act as life savers on any high friction surface . If you are driving a car on an unmarked surface it will be very difficult to maintain lane discipline, as you won’t know here your lane ends and the adjacent lane starts.

Survey Finds That Buffered Bike Lanes Are Better

Image
Why buffered bike lanes are better than conventional lanes? A bike lane provides a designated lane for cyclists to ride on. They can easily ride on these lanes without worrying about cars or other vehicles coming onto their lanes. Plus, the car owners too feel safe knowing that they won’t encounter a cyclist in their spot, that can lead to mishaps. A bike lane is usually demarcated with bike lane marking . These are conventional bike lanes where the line is the only thing that separates the car riding space with the cycling space. However, in times of heavy traffic, the cars may unintentionally spill over to the bikers’ lane thus jeopardizing their safety. In such cases, a buffered bike lane emerges as a safer option. This type of bike lane has buffer space in between the car riding space and the cyclist lane. Typically, it is a 2 to 2.5 foot ‘shy zone’ that resides between the cyclists zone and the moving vehicle zone.
