Raised platforms are traffic calming devices used to reduce vehicle speeds in urban and residential areas and near pedestrian crossings. These raised structures promote the safety of pedestrians and cyclists by encouraging drivers to slow down.
Experimentation and Innovation
Care must be taken when installing LED beacons on raised platforms, given the strict road safety regulations in force. Experiments with illuminated beacons to attract the attention of road users have been carried out in France to assess the effectiveness of these devices without compromising regulatory safety. These tests help to identify best practice and ensure that new technologies are appropriate and comply with current standards. By combining robustness, durability and advanced technologies, LED beacons, solar studs and extra-low voltage signage solutions can transform raised access platforms into essential elements of modern road safety, while complying with the most stringent regulations depending on the installation site.
Making pedestrian and cycle areas safer
Installing LED beacons and solar studs on and around raised platforms helps to clearly indicate their presence, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions. Solar-powered LED lights can be fitted to road signs to attract drivers’ attention. These lighting devices provide dynamic and adaptable illumination, ensuring better visibility for drivers. The luminous power of wired studs ensures that pedestrian crossing zones and cycle paths are well lit, reducing the risk of accidents and improving the safety of vulnerable road users.
Robustness and durability for urban conditions
Raised platforms, which are often subject to heavy traffic, require robust and durable signage solutions. The materials used for LED beacons and solar panels, such as polycarbonate and stainless steel, ensure optimum resistance to both wear and tear and impact. The very robust extra-low voltage (ELV) signalling devices are also designed to be energy-efficient and easy to maintain, minimising the cost and duration of maintenance-related interruptions.
