Road marking devices and their types

Types of road markings

Road marking — the main regulatory sign on both city and intercity roads. Since its lines are similar, and at high speed they become worse than recognizable, to constantly control the quality of the lines applied is an important task of road services. In modern conditions, the marking lines are applied using special machines. Depending on the territory that needs to be equipped, on the complexity of the marking itself, on the timing intended to perform work, it will profitably use either self -propelled or controlled devices. The machine for marking roads self -propelled is small in its dimensions, can be used in limited space, as well as draw lines of various shapes (for example, marking of a sports field).Cold marking cold marking is one of the common ways to arrange roads. For it, appropriate machines of the cold method of application are used. In the process, the device uses a fairly simple principle. It spray the coloring composition on the asphalt with a spray. In order for it to evenly lay down to the surface, and also stands out brightly, it is necessary that the road is perfectly flat. The composition that is applied to asphalt is often called cold plastic, since it contains a huge number of polymers in the list of its ingredients. Two -component marking machine is a marginal car with a two -component principle of operation — this is a relatively new type of special equipment for road arrangement. She uses two -component paint as coloring material. Such a composition of paint is characterized by increased strength and wear resistance. It is not embossed, which allows the car not to feel the intersection of marking under its wheels. It would be felt when using plastic materials and pastes. Thermoplastic marks of marking are the application of thermoplastic coloring materials using a special type of machine. They melt the composition, which for the most part resembles a paste. After applying to the road, the composition freezes well. A great advantage of this type of marking is its durability. The material is very resistant to abrasion, it is not amenable to the effects of ultraviolet rays or high humidity. The application of thermoplastic marking on intercity tracks and on large highways of cities is very common today. Even after multiple crossing the markings with large cars, it does not lose its appearance.
