2696 Astucia SolarLite road studs have been recognised as one of the top three safety projects in Poland.

The company’s Polish partner, 2489 Lunaro, was alerted to the need for more efficient road safety measures, and assisted in the planning and deployment of studs on Road No 3 near Przybiernow, Western Pomerania.

Following Poland’s Weekend Without Victims, a campaign designed to educate and raise awareness on crucial road safety matters across the country, Astucia and Lunaro installed 120 solar-powered SolarLite road studs with plans to install a further 140 on Road 3 at crossroads near Przybiernow.

Astucia says its SolarLite road studs are visible for up to 900m, and this offers a driver more time to react to approaching hazards.
