Description
Cat Eye are small, durable road markers that act as supplements to painted road lines. They are engineered to be highly visible in low-light conditions, offering drivers a clear visual, tactile (rumble), and auditory warning when they cross the marked lines. They are essential safety features on highways, motorways, and city roads worldwide, providing navigational guidance and significantly contributing to accident redauction.
Features:
- High Reflectivity: Utilizes embedded reflective lenses (made of glass beads or micro-prism plastics) to direct vehicle headlights back to the driver with minimal divergence, making the marker luminous at night.
- Self-Cleaning Feature: The original, classic design uses a flexible rubber dome housing the reflectors, mounted in a durable cast iron body. When a vehicle passes over the dome, it compresses, allowing a fixed wiper to clean the reflective lenses with water collected in the base
- High Compression Strength: The casings (whether cast iron, aluminum, or heavy-duty plastic) are designed to withstand extremely high compressive loads, often exceeding ensuring longevity under heavy traffic.
- Weather Resistance: Engineered to remain highly effective in adverse weather conditions, including rain, fog, and dust storms, where painted lines often disappear under a film of water.
- Active: Modern variants incorporating photovoltaic solar cells to charge an internal battery and power These actively emit light, offering enhanced visibility, especially where street lighting is absent.
- Material Versatility: Available in various materials to suit different traffic requirements: Cast Aluminum for highways, Durable Plastic ) for city roads and parking areas, and Tempered Glass for specific aesthetic or reflective needs.
- White: Center line marking lanes on single or dual carriageways.
- Red: Marks the left edge of the road or the hard shoulder
- Amber/Yellow Marks: the central reservation or median (separating opposing traffic).
- Green: Marks lay-bys, slip roads, or points where traffic can cross (e.g., minor road junctions).
