Abstract: Surface coverings for marking road surfaces are disclosed including elastic particles for application to the road surface, the elastic particles including a plurality of light reflectors such as glass beads or ceramic particles, which can also include various pigments.
Abstract: Road markings disposed on a fixed road surface are disclosed including reflective material disposed on a first portion of the fixed road surface for improving light reflection and friction material disposed on a second portion of the fixed road surface for increasing the friction between the fixed road surface and the wheels of a vehicle, these two portions of the road surface being separate portions of the fixed road surface. Methods are also disclosed for disposing road markings on a fixed road surface.
Abstract: The invention relates to a fluorescing covering for roads, parking places, etc. which fluoresces when being illuminated with ultraviolet light. In addition to the fluorescing agent, the covering comprises a colouring pigment or a soluble colorant which filtrates the fluorescing light and dissipates only light having a desired wavelength. This colouring pigment or colorant also reflects light having a desired wavelength and absorbs light having a non-desired wavelength also from daylight or some other conventional light source.
