Bicycle Safety System

Cycle lanes, coloured surfacing, lane markings, bicycle kerbs, etc.

The Australian Bicycle Council and Austroads guidelines describe a range of systems to delineate Bicycle Lanes and dual-use pathways. Traffic Systems West are the leading supplier of engineered bicycle safety systems, all compliant with Austroads Guidelines and Main Roads WA specifications.

Coloured Surfacing

Cold Applied Plastic surface coatings offer high impact bicycle lane delineation, particularly suited to areas of high concentration of motor vehicles and cyclists. These highly durable surface coatings are ideal in heavy wear areas, like signalised intersections.

The combination of a cold applied plastic binder and a calcined bauxite aggregate, produces a high friction surface that is fully compliant with Main Roads WA specifications for pavements and roadways. These resin systems are available in a range of Australian Standard colours to ensure uniformity across the network.

Bicycle Kerb

Bicycle kerbs are a specifically designed, low profile barrier, to accentuate the lane delineation between motor vehicles and cyclists. In areas of high vehicle concentration (intersections), points of restriction (bends and curves), and adjoining high speed roads, it is often not sufficient to rely on linemarkings for delineation.

The low profile kerb is not sufficient to cause a hazard to cyclists, however the protrusions on the vehicle side provide an audible warning to motorists if they drift onto the line. They are easily installed with masonry fixings to the pavement surface.

Principal Shared Path Project

BASSENDEAN STATION TO SUCCESS HILL STATION  1 (LORD ST)

STAKEHOLDERS:  MAINROADS WA; WA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT

PRODUCT: ENNIS ROADPLAST ROLL-ON (COLD APPLIED PLASTIC)

With the final construction phase of Stage 1 now complete, our client and project contractor, were engaged to complete their potion of site works. The scope included all painted line work and associated pavement markings for the 850m new section of dual use path.

Our friends approach us asking for a Cold Applied Plastic product suitable for a number of required pavement markings on site. The ENNIS Roadplast Roll On product, was the perfect solution and satisfies all the criteria, of the Mainroads WA relevant standard.

This two coat roll on system not only offers a UV stable, long life and highly visible marking, but a non- slip finish, with the application of a small aggregate between coats, imperative for both cyclists and pedestrians.

The ENNIS Roadplast Roll On – Two Coat system proved to be a versatile method for the installer and a successful outcome for the project and end users alike.
