Horizontal Retroreflectometer: Accuracy in Measuring Paints and Road Markings
The horizontal retroreflectometer is a device specialized in measuring retroreflection on horizontal surfaces, such as road markings and road paints.
A horizontal retroreflectometer allows the evaluation of whether the lines and symbols painted on the roadway meet the necessary reflectance or retroreflection levels to ensure their visibility, especially in low light conditions or adverse weather situations. At T2S Ibérica, we offer DELTA retroreflectometers for high-precision and quality horizontal signage, designed to enhance driver safety by ensuring clear and perceptible signage at all times.
What is a Horizontal Retroreflectometer and Why is it Important?
A horizontal retroreflectometer measures the amount of light reflected by road markings on the pavement, similar to how the light from a vehicle’s headlights hits these markings and is returned to the driver. This allows lane lines and other symbols on the road to be visible from significant distances, guiding drivers safely and reducing accident risks. For road safety and road maintenance professionals, having a retroreflectometer or reflectometer for horizontal signage is essential to verify that road markings remain in optimal retroreflection conditions.
Applications of the Horizontal Retroreflectometer on Roads
A reflectometer or horizontal retroreflectometer allows key measurements in road environments, construction sites, and other horizontal signage areas. Some of its main applications include:
- Measuring retroreflection on road markings: Ensures that lines and symbols on the pavement meet visibility standards.
- Quality control in reflective pavements: Ensures that road markings correctly reflect light, facilitating safe circulation in nighttime or adverse weather conditions.
- Road marking maintenance: Allows regular monitoring of the visibility and reflectance of road markings, ensuring they meet safety requirements.
- Road studs: Some types of horizontal retroreflectometers, like the Horizontal Retroreflectometer LTL-M, allow the detection of damaged or detached road studs during the analysis along the evaluated road.
Horizontal Retroreflectometers: Regulatory Compliance
At T2S Ibérica, our horizontal retroreflectometers are certified to measure retroreflection (RL) and luminance (Qd) according to the European Standard EN 1436 for road markings. This standard is essential to ensure that horizontal road markings in roads and work areas meet the necessary reflectance and luminance levels, providing accurate and consistent visibility data. Thanks to this compliance, T2S Ibérica’s DELTA horizontal signage retroreflectometers offer thorough and reliable road safety control.
