WETRAFFIC Anti Skid Reflective Pedestrian Crossing

WETRAFFIC technology implemented the installation of anti-skid reflective pedestrian crossing in Horoušany. The goal of the application was to increase the safety of pedestrians at the crossing point of pedestrian and road traffic, both in terms of adhesion of the walking surface and from the point of view of its optical visibility.

The implementation was carried out on the existing surface of the communication with emphasis on the speed of application, minimal traffic restrictions and the immediate functionality of the transition after the completion of the works.

Objective of implementation

The main purpose of the application was:

  • increase pedestrian safety when crossing roads
  • improvement of the anti-skid properties of the walking surface
  • optical gradient highlighting
  • improved visibility in low light conditions

The colorful and reflective solution contributes to the timely identification of the crossing by both drivers and pedestrians.

Characteristics of the application

The application was made as a thin film WETRAFFIC colour system with anti-skid and reflective treatment designed for traffic-exposed places with pedestrian movement.

Implementations included:

  • Preparation of the base surface
  • application of color thin-film system
  • incorporation of anti-skid components
  • reflective surface treatment
  • final quality control of execution

The technological composition of the system is designed to withstand traffic loads and climatic influences for a long time, while maintaining non-slip properties for pedestrians.

Safety benefits

The implemented transition brings several key safety effects:

  • reducing the risk of slipping pedestrians
  • safer movement of people in wet and bad conditions
  • pronounced optical highlight of the transition
  • improved visibility day and night
  • increasing the attention of drivers when arriving at the crossing

The anti-skid and reflective properties of the system increase safety especially for pedestrian users of the road.

Importance of implementation

The project in the village of Horoušany presents a practical demonstration of the use of WETRAFFIC technology to increase traffic safety in the urban area of the municipality with a focus on pedestrian protection.

The application is particularly suitable for:

  • frequented pedestrian crossings
  • Surrounding schools and public buildings
  • Traffic Hazardous Locations
  • zones with increased pedestrian movement
