Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a curb for roads which aims at traffic safety.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The road curb is installed at the boundary between the road and the sidewalk, and ensures the safety of pedestrians walking on the sidewalk from traveling vehicles. The curb has been removed or lowered at the crosswalk, at the intersection, and at the entrance of the car in the house. The part where this curb is removed or formed low is the passage where people and vehicles enter and exit the sidewalk, and on both sides there is a tapered curb whose upper surface is sloped down to one side toward the passage. I have.

[0003] The length of the tapered curb provided at the passage where the curb is interrupted varies depending on the location, but the curb with a long tapered portion has been traveling because the slope of the rising portion from the road surface is gentle. When a bicycle passes, an accident has occurred in which a wheel rides on a tapered part and falls. Especially at night, when it gets dark, it is difficult to see the concrete gray tapered curb, and there is a high risk of an accident.

[0004] For this reason, yellow paint is applied to the tapered curbstones installed on both sides of the passage where the curb is interrupted, such as a pedestrian crossing and a car entrance, so that the boundary with the curb can be easily formed even at night. If it can be recognized, there is an effect of preventing accidents. However, applying yellow paint to curbs that have already been installed is dangerous because it must run out of the roadway on which the car runs, and it is costly because it requires work on site. There's a problem.

[0005] Even if a yellow paint is applied to the surface of the curb, the paint gradually peels off due to the wind and rain for a long time, making it difficult to see. However, there was a problem that the color was peeled off due to chipping, and the repair cost for painting again for repair became high.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The inventor of the present invention rides on a road on a bicycle at night and turns left at an intersection. It developed a curb for roads with improved safety as a boundary sign that can be identified even at night.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The curb for roads according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that a yellowish paint is mixed with ready-mixed concrete, molded into a block shape, and entirely colored yellowish. Furthermore, the curb for roads according to claim 2 is characterized in that the upper surface of the block is formed in a tapered shape inclined along the longitudinal direction. The yellow paint used in the present invention may be a fluorescent paint or a paint mixed with a reflective material.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1 (A), reference numeral 1a denotes a curb for roads, which is formed by mixing a yellow paint with ready-mixed concrete to form a tapered surface 2 having a rectangular parallelepiped block-like upper surface inclined to one side along a longitudinal direction. The whole is colored yellowish. Therefore, the entire road curb 1a is colored yellowish as shown in the cross section of FIG. FIG. 2 shows a curb 1b for a road formed by mixing a yellow paint with ready-mixed concrete to form a rectangular parallelepiped block, which is also colored yellow in its entirety.

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a tapered road curb 1a which is entirely colored yellowish is installed on both sides of a passing part 3 where a curb is interrupted, such as a pedestrian crossing portion and a car entrance. . Also, in the lower passing portion 3, road curbs 1c... Formed of uncolored low blocks are installed. In addition, a part of the tapered road curb 1a that separates the roadway and the sidewalk from one side is a non-colored gray road curb 1d formed in a rectangular parallelepiped block shape, and a road colored yellow. The curbs 1b are alternately provided. The lower side of these road curbs 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d is buried underground 4 and the upper side is installed higher than the road surface 5.

As described above, the yellow-colored tapered road curbs 1a and 1a are provided on both sides of the passage 3 where the curb is interrupted, such as the pedestrian crossing and the entrance and exit of the car. The tapered surface 2 can be recognized from a distance. Especially at night, even after dark, the yellowish color is easy to recognize and plays a role as a road sign, and it is possible to prevent the accident that the bicycle rides on the tapered surface 2 and falls when riding on the passing part 3 by bicycle. it can. In addition, since the road curb and the sidewalk are separated from each other by the yellow curb 1b and the uncolored gray curb 1d, the curb can be easily recognized. In addition, safety can be improved for cars and pedestrians.

In the above description, a rectangular block-shaped road curb 1b colored in yellow and a non-colored gray road curb 1d are alternately installed in a portion separating the roadway and the sidewalk. However, a continuously colored road curb 1b may be provided.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which only the outer portions 6 of the road curbs 1a and 1b are mixed with a yellow paint to form a hollow block. The inner part 7 is a double-structured curb made of uncolored concrete. With this structure, although the molding process is performed in two stages, the amount of paint used can be reduced.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the road curb according to the present invention, a yellow colored tapered road curb is provided on both sides of the passage where the curb is interrupted, such as a pedestrian crossing and a car entrance. The tapered surface can be recognized even from a long distance at night by providing the vehicle, and it is possible to prevent an accident in which the bicycle rides on the tapered surface and falls when the bicycle runs on a passing portion. Also, by installing a yellowish-colored rectangular block-shaped road curb at the part that separates the roadway and sidewalk, the boundary between the roadway and sidewalk can be recognized and safety can be improved.

Further, since the road curb of the present invention mixes paint during the molding process, the overall cost can be significantly reduced as compared to the cost of manually painting one by one on a dangerous roadside later. it can. The curb for roads is entirely colored yellowish, so even if the paint is peeled off or the corners are chipped off due to the weather, the colored part inside is exposed and the surface becomes yellowish for a long time. Retained, no repair costs for repainting.
