COLORED PAVEMENT

FOR FUNCTION AND ZEST

Achieving the best results

By Jeff Winke

C olored pavements are typically installed to improve safety for pedestrian or road traffic or for purely aesthetic decorative visual effect . With road traffic , colored pavement can define different functions or routes , such as reduced speed , bus lanes , bike lanes , entry thresholds , crosswalks , or intersections . Colored pavement can implement a calming measure to traffic , creating an oasis from the maddening pace .

“ Colored pavement would be the best choice when you are looking to enhance the visual appeal of a section of your pavement ,” stated Nihal Pandrapragada , research chemist at STAR , Inc ., Columbus , Ohio . “ The scenarios are various and versatile . These include bike lanes , walkways , pedestrian crossings , sports surfaces , school play areas , parking lots , the grounds of amusement parks , zoos , and other visitor-centric facilities , to name a few .”
