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.

Driveways and sidewalks face a lot of footfall as well as vehicular traffic. It needs additional durability in the form of decorative surfaces . The range of textures, shades, and colors can immediately enhance the look of the area significantly. Check out the below advantages offered by adding Decorative Pavement Surfacing to outdoor areas.   1 – Durability The curb areas and sidewalks need to bear a lot of footfalls. Hence it makes sense to for of decorative surfaces. As compared to standard paving materials, the Decorative concrete surface is known to last longer and give better performance. This reduces the long term maintenance costs and justifies every dollar spent on the installation.

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...

What road surfacing solutions can prevent road mishaps? We have seen many road accidents occur due to faded marking, or absence of any markings at all. In a busy intersection that blends cyclists, cars, two-wheelers, and pedestrians, lack of clear demarcation proves to be a life-threatening problem. If a clear marking like bike lane marking is in place, it guides the cyclists to stay on the correct path and prevent them from veering off to the road surfaces. The same holds true the other way around, where cars get to know which is the dedicated lane meant only for cyclists and stay away from that lane. Continue Reading

What are the different types of road surfacing materials? With an increase in road density, the number of vehicles, and foot traffic, it becomes important for the government authorities to have properly functioning roads and pavement surfaces . It not only provides a demarcated area for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles to use, but also maintains a high level of safety to prevent unfortunate intersection and mishaps among the 3 types of human and vehicular footfall we see on public roads. Interested to know which are the common types of pavement material used? Then read on and be informed: 1 – Airport surfaces A unique feature of airport surfaces is that it should be conducive for the plane’s tires to perform at an optimal level. For this, the asphalt of the road surfaces need an additional enhancement.  Continue Reading
