350 Transpo Industries has two new products: the T-28 colour-safe surface and T-78 polymer crack sealer. The T- 28 is an acrylic-based resin system used for pavement area markings and anti-skid surfacing. It is used for bicycle/pedestrian paths, bus stops/lanes and other specially designated areas. This product also improves skid-resistance and its colour warns users of hazardous turns and other high accident areas on asphalt and concrete roadways. The T-78 product is a low viscosity, methyl methacrylate resin system that is effective for sealing and filling cracks in concrete. It bonds well to the inner walls of cracks, restoring strength and preventing crack propagation. T-78 polymer crack sealer is capable of rapid cure in a wide range of temperatures.

    Copenhagen, Denmark, has long been known as one of the world’s leading cities for cycling. In some areas of the city, the modal share of bikes has reached a level of as much as 50 %. And on some of the most frequently used bike paths the average daily number of cyclists is close to 30,000. As these numbers continue to rise, new ways of planning and implementing cycling infrastructure are needed. Increasingly, Danish traffic planners are turning to technology as a tool for planning cycling infrastructure. I

    Geosynthetics have a wide variety of uses and these include providing extra strength in highway construction. Demand for geosynthetics in the United States alone is projected to increase 4.4% per year through to 2010 to more than 727 million m². Geosynthetics, used worldwide in the highway sector for strengthening, include geotextiles, geomembranes, geonets, geogrids, geosynthetic clay liners, preformed geocomposites, geocells and geofoams. The US advances will be fuelled by a recovery in nonbuilding constr
