Road Reflectors

Road Reflectors Used In South Africa – Purpose And Uses

The main intended purpose of road reflectors is to encourage safe driving and to control and guide motorists on the road.  There are many types and kinds of road reflectors on the market. Some are made from plastic, some from metal and others even from ceramic. Road reflectors are also sometimes referred to as “cat’s eyes”. This is due to the way they appear when the light of a vehicle reflects off the unit.

Road reflectors can be installed on a road in a certain pattern in order to guide drivers, especially at night or during smoggy conditions. They can also be placed in a line down the centre of the road to mark width and ensure that drivers are aware to keep on their side of the road. They can also be used at pedestrian crossings and be attached to barrier guards and guard rails to ensure that motorists can see where they are placed on the road and avoid an accident. Other than standard cat’s eyes, the chevron and delineator are two other road reflectors found on South Africa’s roads.
