Definitions

  • the invention relates to a horizontal marking on roadways, consisting of reflective surface sections.
  • Horizontal markings of this type in the form of line segments have been known for a long time and are used in particular to identify road boundaries or center lines. So that these horizontal markings are clearly visible in the headlights of the motor vehicles in the dark, it is known to cover the line sections, which are generally applied with white or yellow paint, with reflective beads, which ensure good night visibility, even when wet, through retroreflection.
  • a problem that has not yet been solved satisfactorily is to place markings in such a way that the driver can estimate the visibility in the fog so that he can adjust his speed according to the actual visibility.
  • overestimating the visibility in fog often leads to rear-end collisions, despite all warnings in this regard.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide reflective horizontal markings such that the driver can easily recognize these markings in the fog and quickly and easily due to the number of surface sections visible in front of him the actual visibility can close.
  • the horizontal marking according to the invention is characterized in that, in fog-prone street areas, surface sections for distance estimation are applied in succession at the same, predetermined, constant distance, which differ in color from the normal marking.
  • the constant distance between the surface sections is made known to the driver in some way, for example by means of a sign, so that all he has to do is count the number of surface sections that are just visible in front of him on the road in order to know the actual visibility.
  • the driver is not, as before, forced to orientate himself in the fog, if necessary, to the side posts mounted on the side of the road in order to better recognize the traffic routing, but can only concentrate on the road area in front of him. This is very helpful for traffic safety, because the driver no longer has to turn his attention to the road and the side posts, but only has to keep his eyes on the road.
  • All surface sections preferably have the same constant length in the longitudinal direction of the roadway.
  • the predetermined constant distance between the surface sections is in particular 20 to 80 m, preferably 30 to 50 m.
  • These surface sections can be applied to the normal, possibly already existing horizontal marking or next to this normal horizontal marking, which is normal Horizontal marking is preferably the lateral continuous lane boundary lines.
  • the continuous marking lines 1 are not shown completely in the figures, but rather in sections.
  • reflecting surface sections 2 in the form of line sections at the same, predetermined constant distance A are applied to a continuous marking line 1, which is in particular a lane boundary line.
  • These line sections 2 each have the same, constant length L.
  • these reflecting surface sections 2 which are covered with reflection beads for generating reflection or retroreflection, clearly visible in the fog, they are designed in such a color that they have a good color distinguish it from the normal marking line 1 and of course from the gray or dark lane.
  • the contrast of the line segments 2 with respect to the continuous marking line 1 is illustrated in FIG. 1 by hatching these line segments 2.
  • the continuous marking line 1 is white, then the line sections 2 are produced with a colored marking compound, for example with a yellow, red, orange, blue or green marking compound. In the case of a yellow continuous line 1, the line sections 2 accordingly have different colors.
  • colored reflecting bodies can also be applied to the surface sections 2, in particular reflecting bodies provided with colored spots.
  • the predetermined constant distance A of the line sections 2 can be between 20 and 80 m, preferably 30 to 50 m, while the length L of a line section is 1 to 4 m, preferably 2 to 3 m.
  • the predetermined distance is understood to mean the sum of the length of a line segment and the length of the space between two successive line segments, so that, for line segments of, for example, two meters in length and a space of 48 meters each, the predetermined distance, as mentioned above, Is 50 meters.
  • the line sections 2 can also be attached next to the normal horizontal marking, that is to say in particular next to a continuous or interrupted boundary line or center line.
  • the surface sections used for the distance estimation need not be line sections, but can also have any other suitable shape.
  • the colored surface sections 3 are oval and are placed next to a continuous normal marking line 1.
  • the distance A between successive surface sections 3 is again constant.
  • the colored surface sections applied at the same distance A on a normal continuous marking line 1 have the shape of triangles 4.
  • the distance A can again be 20 to 80 m, preferably 30 to 50 m.
  • the dimension L of the triangles 4 as well as the oval surface sections 3 (FIG. 2) in the longitudinal direction of the carriageway can be in particular 0.5 to 1.5 m and is of course chosen so that these colored surface sections under the small viewing angle at which they Motorists see are still clearly recognizable.
  • the surface sections 3 and 4 are again shown hatched to indicate their color contrast with the continuous marking line or the road.
  • the colored appearance of the surface sections 2, 3 and 4 can also be created by spraying them with the white or yellow marking compound like the usual horizontal marking and then covering them with correspondingly colored reflecting bodies, in particular with reflecting beads provided with dabs of color or colored spots to achieve a to achieve good retroreflection.
  • the colorless or colored reflective beads, with which the surface sections 2, 3 and 4 are covered, are preferably chosen so large that they protrude from the moisture film when it is slightly wet, in order to achieve a good reflection effect even in damp weather, since the roadway is foggy is often wet.
  • the size of the distance A of the colored surface sections is chosen based on the prevailing climatic and geographic conditions. This means that in areas where generally only light to moderate fog occurs, the distance A is chosen to be larger than in places where very heavy fog is often to be expected. Depending on these external conditions, the distance A should be so large that in fog usually two to five surface sections are recognizable for the driver and that in very dense fog, which prevents further travel, no surface section or at most only one surface section is recognizable is. In this case, the driver knows that he should interrupt his journey.
  • the colored surface sections for distance estimation can be produced in a simple and cost-saving manner.
  • the production of line segments 2 on a continuous, standard marking line 1 is particularly economical when drawing the marking line 1 with a marking vehicle it only needs to be provided with further equipment for the intermittent spraying of a colored marking compound and, if the continuous marking line is not covered with glass beads anyway, with another bead spreader for applying the reflective beads to the surface sections 2.
  • the continuous marking line 1 and the line sections 2 attached to it can thus be produced in one operation in a cost-saving manner.
  • the surface sections can also overlap the normal marking line 1 such that, for example, the line sections 2 or the triangles 4 protrude over one edge of the marking line 1, or they can be wider than the normal marking line and protrude beyond the edges thereof on both sides.
