About Road Studs

ABS REFLECTIVE

ROAD STUDS.

SIZE “ 100 MM X 90 MM X 19 MM

Road studs are among the most important devices in preventing cars from running off the

road or their lanes and making our roads safer. They reflect the light from a car's headlights

to allow the driver to observe the curves and corners of the road from a distance.

Driving along a dark road, you might have seen occasional flashes of light emitting from some

devices that have been installed on the road. These devices are called road studs, or cat's eyes

(due to their design) or Raised Pavement Markers. These objects include a lens or sheeting that

enhances their visibility by reflecting the light from headlights of vehicles and makes the road

visible to the drivers. They are bonded or anchored within the road surface for lane marking and

delineation for night-time visibility. 

Description.

Road studs come in different sizes and are available in aluminum, rigid ABS plastic or glass. They

are built to be able to withstand heavy loads and severe impacts. They can have reflectors on

either one, both or all sides. The reflectors can be or various colors depending upon their intended

use. The most common ones we get to see in India are white, yellow and red. Of late, more

advanced road studs have been introduced. These feature solar-powered LEDs instead. They can

run on a single charge for many days. Of course, these are also more expensive than the regular

reflector version.
