Durable Pavement Markings for All Road Safety Marking Needs
Complete Streets
Transportation authorities around the world are placing a greater emphasis on improving safety for vulnerable road users and pedestrians and are finding Color-Safe® methyl methacrylate (MMA) durable pavement marking is an ideal solution. By creating visual awareness for all road users, Color-Safe® can play a key role in helping reduce pedestrian, bicyclist, and motor vehicle crashes, creating bright, long-lasting pavement markings and helping to bring greater safety to cities and communities.
Safety
Color markings are being used around the country to delineate bike lanes, bus lanes, crosswalks, and pedestrian safety areas. As more cities and state municipalities are creating complete streets and anticipating the addition of autonomous vehicles on the roads, the sustainability of the material used for color lanes needs to be considered. Markings must remain vibrant to be a safety feature!
Durability
Transpo’s Color-Safe® MMA marking material is not only one of the most durable markings on the market, but it can be applied in cold weather, extending the marking season. Due to their high durability and color stability, MMA road markings cost less in maintenance and material costs over the extended life cycle of the markings.
