Vertical & Horizontal Signage
Along with checks on materials and on-site monitoring Article 700 of Order PG-3 (dating from 2000) on signage, ground lighting and guard rails for roads requires the back-reflection, luminance factor and slip resistance of road markings to be maintained within certain limits over time.
The first step is to select the right materials, based on criteria such as:
- Location of road markings
- Traffic-free zone
- Right-hand shoulder, 2-lane road
- Left-hand shoulder, 2-lane road
- Shoulder, single-lane road
- Central axis
- Special strips
- Crossings, symbols
- Pavement texturing
- Low
- Medium
- High
- Type of highway & lane width
- ADT
- = 5,000
- > 20,000
It must be assured that all marks maintain the proper back-reflection, luminance factor and SRT throughout their warranty period. To that end, Euroconsult Nuevas Tecnologías has portable back-reflection meters, a spectrophotocolorimeter and an SRT pendulum. We also have three Ecodyn units capable of taking measurements at normal traffic speeds to assess the back-reflection of marks in service
