Endurablend - traffic calming road markings that go the distance

Are you an elected official getting tons of requests from concerned citizens to deal with frequent speeding on a local street? Did you notice that solely imposing a speed limit is not enough to keep the neighborhood safe and comfortable for pedestrians? Fortunately, there is a lot of other traffic calming treatments and strategies that can help you slow down and divert cars in residential areas.

These traffic calming treatments include adding parallel parking spots, street narrowing, building sidewalk extensions, chicanes, roundabouts, raised medians, diverters as well as installing speed bumps, humps, tables, and flush curb-bump out.

But there is also a less expensive and time-efficient way to balance the car flow on the streets, and it involves simply adding traffic calming road surface markings to the pavement.

These markings increase awareness by using various colors, textures, and patterns to attract drivers’ attention and visually narrow down the travel lanes. Using traffic road surface markings helps to reduce the speed, minimizing the risk of accidents on the road.
