The reflective cat eyes is what's called a retroreflective safety device – it reflects light back to the source (i.e. your headlights)。Originally they were only used in the centre of the road yellow lines, two spheres facing each direction up the road. 2 sides of reflective bands of ruby-grains type can give clear brightness.
Cat eyes reflector provide most effective night guidance even under the most adverse weather conditions. Cat eyes on road are available in different sizes to delineate both the carriage way at the center and at the edges of roads.
But do you know what is the distance between two reflective cat eyes on road ?
Recommended installation: fill the hole with 2 component glue or selected fixed product) and install the reflective cat eyes into the slurry and tighten it
Attention! Before reopening the driveway, make sure the glue is completely dry and the cat eyes reflector is secured.
Amber, green, red or white colors reflective cat eyes are available upon request in NOKIN Traffic.
On freeways, 9 meters to 18 meters depending on the radius of the horizontal/vertical curve. Thus, the spacing in a particular section of the road depends on the various design and environmental characteristics of that section. 9 m is suitable for all main/secondary Bridges, ROB (highway Bridges), VUP (vehicle underpass), overpasses, etc. 6 m for transfer in work area.
In the United States, road traffic facility design is primarily based on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Reflective road studs, as important road safety facilities, are typically installed at critical locations such as lane dividing lines, lane edges, and hazardous curves. Their installation spacing must comply with the following standards:
General road centerlines: It is recommended to install at intervals of 6 to 12 meters to balance warning effectiveness and installation costs.
Highways or areas with limited visibility: Considering the high vehicle speeds and potential obstructed visibility, it is recommended to reduce the installation intervals to 3 to 6 meters to enhance road boundary recognition.
Special climate zones: In foggy areas, snow-covered sections, and similar scenarios, the installation density of reflective road studs should be further increased (spacing may be appropriately reduced based on actual climate conditions) to enhance visual warning and improve driving safety.
Nokin is the road stud manufacturer in China since 2001, the main products are reflective cat eyes, solar cat eyes, solar traffic signs and road marking machine. Welcome to inquire.
