Usually, pedestrians traveling through crosswalks or sidewalks depend upon the signage and markings along the road to guide them and direct them towards the correct direction. Typically, only a glance at these markings is enough to guide us along the path. If these markings and signs are not appropriate or incur some wear and tear, it can be risky for the pedestrian. Also, if the experts do not overlay crosswalks with some form of a   decorative concrete surface, then the overall dull grey look becomes too weary to walk on. With this philosophy in mind, the City of Las Vegas embraced new-age concrete overlay technologies. They used thermoplastic with a brick pattern on a crosswalk. The application of Endurablend removed the issue with bonding and premature wear and tear.  The problem  Due to the conditions of the street and crosswalk, the markings wore off quickly from the concrete or asphalt surfaces. The existing materials used in the concrete overlay was...

Airport signs and pavement markings provide useful information to the pilot during landing, takeoff and taxiing. The safety and efficiency improve when there is uniformity in airport signs and markings from one airport to another. When pilots encounter incorrect, ineffective, or confusing markings or symbols on an airport, they should immediately make the operator management of the airport aware of the problem. Airport markings usually contain runway marking, taxiway marking, holding position marking, and other markings as well. Let us describe the importance of these markings on the airport. Runway Markings Runway Markings have white markings. They are of three types, i.e. non-precision instrument, precision instrument, and visual. The determination of runway numbers and letters is done from the approach direction. It is a whole number nearing the one-tenth and measured clockwise from the magnetic north. The runway centerline marking marks the center of the runway and...

Bike riding is one of the greatest ways of staying healthy and active. This is also beneficial for the environment as it does not create any pollution. Many cities are encouraging this mode of transportation. It has been a reliable and practical solution for urban mobility. The green bike lanes provide visibility to a bicyclist for their safety. In a nutshell, bicycles have been in trend more than ever before. Many cities have developed buffered bike lanes for the bicyclist to make their city bike-friendly. It has a clear division of bike lanes with other vehicles. In the end, the cyclist decides to select a city suitable for their needs.

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. This increases the chances of vehicles involved in mishaps. In order to bring down the casualty on the roads, and make driving a safer practice, it is important to have clearly designated markings that indicate the area in which a car can drive on without stepping into the ...

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.

Bike lane markings are used to designate areas of the road that are used by bicyclists. It allows motorists and bicyclists to drive separately from one another, which creates a safe traffic environment for everyone on the road. Here at Pavement Surface Coatings LLC, we help our clients to create the following types of biking lanes:         Conventional Bike Lanes:  Used to designate lanes for bicyclists driving in parallel with motorists and bus drivers.         Left-side Bike Lanes:  Designate biking lanes on one-way streets divided by a median         Buffered Bike Lanes :  These add space between the bicyclist and the parking lane         Contra-Flow Bike Lanes:  These are lanes for bicyclists going against the flow of traffic         Cycle tracks:  Used for tracks where there is no motor traffic       Spot Treatment in Areas of C...
