ROAD SAFETY  EQUIPMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION AND ACCIDENT SITES

If the accident site or construction site is properly secured, it will be reliably recognised by moving traffic. The manufacturers of road safety equipment have developed various types of high-quality products for this purpose. The high-quality warning material is primarily used to regulate the flow of traffic. Passing cars or other vehicles recognise the barrier in good time. This slows down the flow of traffic and makes it more cautious. It is now possible to drive safely around the accident or roadworks site.

What is meant by road safety equipment? This mainly refers to traffic cones and warning beacons. The material used is PVC plastic. The surface has different colours: alternately red and white. Retroreflective tapes are mandatory to ensure visibility in the dark. Heavy base plates ensure stability. Beacons/warning beacon stands are mainly used to secure construction sites. They have a height of 1 metre to 2.5 metres. Traffic cones are available in sizes between 0.5 and 1 metre. Folding signals are also becoming increasingly popular. They save space when folded up. When unfolded, folding signals can display up to three different traffic sign imprints. Fire brigades like to use these signals. Warning lights in the colour orange or yellow are used to further safeguard accidents and construction sites. The optical signal is generated as a flashing light. The light sources are LED or halogen bulbs. Fitted with a stand, the warning lights can be placed directly on the road. They are powered by batteries or rechargeable batteries. Barrier tapes play a subordinate role here. Due to the lack of night visibility, barrier tapes may only be used during the day.
