A few words about history of road marking
In 1883 a professor of South Dakota predicted that future cars will be able to do for those times unbelievable speed over 25 miles per hour and will be driven on roads split with a white line into two traffic lines, each for one direction. As time passed in 1911 somewhere in USA first horizontal road marking popped up. Over 45.000 of dead and 1 million of injured per year, these are real results of car accidents on European roads. We should bear in mind that behind those numbers are in fact real humans, their suffering and damages. General estimation of these damages are in range between 1.6 to 3.2 trillion CZK. We can say that traffic safety is a responsibility of each country and its government. Such a complex topic involves besides other things not only directionality of communications, road surfaces, traffic lights, but also drivers training, vehicles safety and so. However each of these points plays a very important role. |
Horizontal road marking with its leading lines, directional arrows and pull-offs form a group of important signals determined primarily for drivers. One of its main functions is not only traffic safety but also leading of drivers and acceleration of road traffic. As important requirements of horizontal road marking are considered optical leading and traffic order and regulation as well. Long story short road marking needs to be visible during day and night for all participants of road traffic. Although horizontal road marking is the cheapest safety element of the entire traffic system you would hardly imagine driving through the night without help its white leading lines. Materials mostly used in the world are currently cold plastic, sprayable plastic, thermoplastic and two components cold plastic. |
