Wind-drive ROTAFLECTOR

ROTAFLECTOR fits securely on the top of traffic cones and can replace up to 50% of road danger lamps (every other lamp) in straight line delineation, claims its manufacturer. The wind-driven rotating reflective device has been fully tested at TRL [UK's Transport Research Laboratory] and approved for use on the network by the UK Highways Agency and the Department for Transport. Requiring no batteries, the ROTAFLECTOR is made from recycled materials and is totally recyclable itself.

    Using smartphones for social networking while driving is more dangerous than drink driving or being high on cannabis behind the wheel according to research published by the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) in the UK. Despite this, eight per cent of drivers admit to using smartphones for email and social networking while driving. Twenty-four per cent of 17-24 year old drivers, a group already at higher risk of being in a crash, admit to using smartphones for email and social networking while driving.

    Manufacturers are constantly upgrading marking materials and equipment. Now those responsible for highways are being asked to do more as Patrick Smith reports. A recent report claimed that nearly one-third of the length of Britain's single carriageway A-roads have white lines so worn out that they do not meet recognised standards. According to the LifeLines Report, an assessment of more than 2,400km of the road network, Britain's most dangerous roads have the most worn-out centre line markings of all, leavi
  • Essential tunnel maintenance

    Highway road tunnels and inter-city vehicle underpasses are vital components of an essential busy highways network. Keeping them clean is essential. Road tunnels and vehicle underpasses require a specific strength of light. Too bright, and the lamps or lights may dazzle or distract drivers, and too dim the tunnel can seem claustrophobic and daunting, as well as increasing dangers from obstructions and other hazards.
