Footpaths | Traffic Lanes

In many urban areas, contact and intersections between pedestrian areas and traffic lanes are unavoidable. The high volume of signs, markings, and warnings in these areas overwhelms the perception of many road users.

This results in numerous accidents, some of which cause serious personal injury, which cannot be avoided by adding more conventional road markings and thus increasing the complexity of traffic situations.

With its unique luminous effect, LightStone helps to clearly show the structure and layout of larger areas in such danger zones, to highlight particular accident blackspots among the multitude of other road markings, and to create visual barriers that warn pedestrians in particular against carelessly stepping into traffic lanes.

Thanks to its subtle, diffuse luminous effect, LightStone is not misunderstood as a binding traffic sign regulating right of way, but is perceived as an orientation aid: When passing through pedestrian zones, LightStone alerts pedestrians to the possibility of crossing vehicles. Where roadways and sidewalks are separated only by a strip of pavement, LightStone warns drivers not to drive over the pedestrian area.

LightStone can be used particularly efficiently and cost-effectively in areas with heavy traffic where pedestrians need special protection from accidents.
