Photoluminescent marking for bicycle lanes and green routes<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Would you like to improve the visibility of a bike lane in areas without street lighting?<\/span><\/p>\n

We recommend our LuminoKrom\u00ae Almond Green<\/a> product markings. LuminoKrom\u00ae marking is made up of photoluminescent pigments that absorb light during the day<\/strong> (sunlight or artificial lighting) and release it as visible light in the dark.<\/p>\n

Once \"charged\", luminescent markings have the particularity of glowing in the dark for +10 hours<\/strong>, making it particularly useful for improving bicyclists' safety and guidance, especially at night or in low-light conditions.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t

Routes delineation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Luminokrom\u00ae is often used to mark out the edges of a separated bike lane to delineate the edge of a trail when it's total darkness. This reduces the risk of unintentional detours onto the traffic road or sidewalk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"Marquage<\/a><\/p>\n

Continuous photoluminescent lines <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Applying Luminokrom\u00ae in the form of continuous lines on the edge of a bike path clearly delimits the space reserved bicyclists<\/strong>, from other roadway users in the city. This not only helps cyclists to stay on course, but also signals to other users (e.g. pedestrians, motorists or other traffic vehicles) the space protected for bicycles and reduces the risk of collision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"Marquage<\/a><\/p>\n

Photoluminescent discontinuous center lines<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On bike lane facilities, a luminous center stripe can be added to delineate the two lanes<\/strong>. This helps cyclists stay on their side of the lane, especially in the dark. Mobility on the greenway is controlled, and cyclists are able to travel with greater peace of mind. Accidents and collisions are avoided and cycling experience is improved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Specific floor markings<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

Bicycle symbols, directional arrowsing or specific pictograms can be created on the bike lane with Luminokrom\u00ae markings to provide guidance to bicyclists in the dark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"Marquage<\/a><\/p>\n

Illuminated pictograms and signs <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pictograms design painted on the ground<\/strong> with LuminoKrom\u00ae can be placed regularly on the bike path to clearly indicate that it is dedicated to bicyclists\u2019 travel. This is particularly useful when the cycling area is close or not separated to the traffic road or shared with other traffic vehicles as motorists or motor vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"Marquage<\/a><\/p>\n

Directional arrows <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Photoluminescent arrows can guide bicyclists by giving them the direction, the way to follow, especially in complex sections such as intersection, sharp bend, turn or fork. These luminous arrows, visible in the dark, improve bicyclist's orientation<\/strong> and show them the protected path to follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"Marquage<\/a><\/p>\n

Regular repetition of markings <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By applying LuminoKrom\u00ae photoluminescent paint at regular intervals along the entire length of the bikeway or lane, markings and signs are easier to see<\/strong>, even over long distances or in very low-light conditions.The continuity of the markings is preserved along the entire length of the track.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Safeguarding danger zones <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

At intersections, on sharp bends or in high-traffic areas, LuminKrom\u00ae markings can be applied to alert cyclists to the need for extra vigilance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"Marquage<\/a><\/p>\n

Chevrons or zigzags <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

These markings are used to indicate an area where bicyclist\u2019s vigilance needs to be reinforced<\/strong>, for example before an intersection or crosswalk in the street. They encourage cyclists to slow down on their night travel and watch out for motorists and\/or pedestrians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"Marquage<\/a><\/p>\n

Stop lines for cyclists<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before an intersection, a stop line can be marked with luminescent marking to alert users to potential hazards in the area. These luminous markings indicate to users that they should stop and check traffic<\/strong> before continuing their bike travel.<\/p>\n

Today, increasing cycling infrastructure is a major challenge in city and department territories around the world. It is essential to promote more sustainable modes of transportation<\/strong>, to improve the quality of life of residents, and to respond to growing environmental concerns.<\/p>\n

LuminKrom\u00ae plays a full part in this dynamic, playing a key role by making travel safer at night<\/strong> or in low-light conditions. Luminescent marking technology provide mobility solutions to territorial issues in urban city and department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
