Question 1

What are pavement markers used for?

Accepted Answer

Pavement markers (also called road studs or cat's eyes) are used to mark lane boundaries, center lines, edge lines, and hazard locations on roads. They provide enhanced visibility at night and during wet conditions when painted lines may be difficult to see.

Question 2

What types of pavement markers do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer several types: 3M reflective studs (ABS body with prismatic reflectors), Ceramic cat's eye markers (traditional glass reflectors), Raised pavement markers (RPMs with reflective surfaces on multiple sides), and Snow-plow resistant markers for heavy-duty applications.

Question 3

How are pavement markers installed?

Accepted Answer

Pavement markers can be installed using epoxy adhesive (most common), bitumen adhesive, or mechanical anchors. The road surface must be clean and dry. Proper surface preparation and correct adhesive application ensure long-lasting installation. We provide installation guidelines and can recommend contractors.

Question 4

What colors are available and what do they mean?

Accepted Answer

White markers indicate lane boundaries and edge lines. Yellow markers mark center lines and separate opposing traffic flows. Red markers indicate wrong-way travel or hazards. Green markers indicate permitted movements or gates. Blue markers indicate fire hydrant locations (in some jurisdictions).

Question 5

How long do pavement markers last?

Accepted Answer

With proper installation, our pavement markers typically last 3-5 years on high-traffic roads and 5-7 years on low-traffic roads. Factors affecting lifespan include traffic volume, weather exposure, and quality of installation. Reflective properties may gradually diminish over time.

Question 6

Are they MORTH compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our pavement markers comply with MORTH specifications and IRC standards for retro-reflective road studs. They meet requirements for reflectivity, compressive strength, color specifications, and dimensional tolerances for use on Indian roads.
