„Road Markings under dry conditions should never drop below 150 mcd/lx/ m2 and never below 35 mcd/lx/m2 (RW2) under wet and rainy conditions“ – Recommendations for technical performance of road markings by European Road Federation
Reduced coefficient of friction between the wheels and the pavement surface causes a large number of traffic accidents. The magnitude of the coefficient of friction is mostly influenced by the wearing layer of the pavement structure.
Aquaplaning occurs when a layer of water forms between the surface of car tyres and the road surface, breaking the contact between tyres and the road.
Highly absorbing noise barriers made of aluminium are used where traffic noise has become a nagging nuisance. Railway is also a source of noise in everyday life, the rolling of the wheels on the tracks, the driving noise of engines and fans are often perceived as stressful by residents.
