In addition, a hollow portion 130 in which air is accommodated is formed in the pillar portion 120.

In addition, a sound generating hole 123 is formed in the upper portion of the pillar portion 120 to generate a sound when the internal air of the hollow portion 130 is discharged to the outside by receiving pressure.

That is, the sound generating hole 123 communicates with the hollow portion 130 so that the pillar portion 120 is deformed due to a collision of a vehicle, and the hollow portion 130 formed inside the pillar portion 120 It is configured to generate a sound when the internal air of the is pressed and discharged to the outside through the sound generating hole 123.

In other words, when the driver walks through the pillar 120 by the vehicle, the sound is generated through the sound generating hole 123 so that the driver can more clearly recognize his or her fault, and the above-described negligence It is to prevent repeating.

In addition, the reflective strip 200 includes a first reflective strip 200a configured to surround the outer circumference of the pillar 120 and a second reflective strip 200a spaced apart from the lower portion of the first reflective strip 200a.

This is to raise awareness about safe driving by allowing the driver to recognize the sound due to his carelessness by generating a sound in one of the following locations, sequentially generating a sound, or generating a sound as a whole.

Here, the sizes of the first sound-generating cut-out part 210a, the second sound-generating cut-off part 210b, and the third sound-generating cut-off part 210c are sequentially formed to be small.

That is, when sound is sequentially generated through the third sound generation cutout 210c, the second sound generation cutout 210b, and the first sound generation cutout 210a, the sound gradually increases from the bottom to the top. It is to do.

In addition, by forming the first sound-generating cutout (210a), the second sound-generating cut-out part (210b) and the third sound-generating cut-off part (210c) to have different sizes, the first, second, and third sound-generating cutouts By allowing different sounds to be generated from the units 210a, 210b, 210c, the attention of not only the driver, but also drivers and pedestrians around the road can be focused and safe driving can be practiced.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of elastic members e and a guide part 15 are included in the support part 110.

The elastic member (e) is configured to have one end connected to the lower portion of the housing 310, and the other end of the elastic member (e) is inserted into the inner lower end of the support portion (110).

The guide part 115 is configured to be elongated vertically to the inner lower end of the support part 110, but one side of the end end is configured to abut the lower outer circumference of the housing 310.

That is, when the shape of the support part 110 is momentarily pressed downward and deformed as the vehicle steps on the support part 110, the housing 310 formed inside the support part 110 is the guide. The housing 310 is moved downward along the part 115 to minimize the impact, and when the support part 110 is quickly restored to its original state after being deformed, the elastic member e causes the housing 310 ) To move upward along the guide part 115 to prevent damage to the solar panel 320, storage battery 330, LED 340, and control unit 350 configured inside the housing 310 What can be done, of course, is to allow the solar panel 320 and the LED 340 to return to their original positions to perform their roles.

Here, it is preferable that one side of the lower outer circumference of the housing 310 abuts with the guide part 115, and the other side of the housing 310 is configured to abut the sidewall of the support part 110, which is It restricts horizontal movement so that it can stably move downward and upward.

According to the lane separator provided with the LED unit according to the present invention, a plurality of reflective bands configured to surround the outer circumference of the pillar unit can continuously reflect light by the LED, so that the vehicle is adjacent at a place such as a curved section of a road.
