Why do bollard need reflective tape?

In urban streets and parking lots, we can often see traffic bollards standing there. They guard the parking spaces like guardians and manage the parking order. However, you may be curious, why are there reflective tapes on these traffic bollards?

First of all, the reflective tape is to improve visibility at night. Street lights at night are relatively dim, which affects the driver’s vision. In such an environment, if there are no clear enough signs, drivers can easily ignore the existence of the traffic bollard, causing accidental collisions or difficulty in parking. Applying reflective tape can make the traffic bollards more eye-catching under the illumination of car lights, helping drivers to more easily detect their existence and avoid accidents.

Secondly, reflective tape can increase visibility during the day. Although the light is relatively bright during the day, in complex urban environments,traffic bollards are often blocked by other vehicles, buildings, etc., and drivers may ignore their existence. By attaching reflective tape, the traffic bollard can be made more conspicuous during the day, reminding drivers of parking space restrictions and avoiding unnecessary parking confusion.

Additionally, reflective tape can provide additional warning during inclement weather. In rain, snow or dense fog, the driver’s vision will be limited and the signs on the road will be easily blurred.traffic bollards covered with reflective tape can reflect light, making it easier for drivers to detect their presence, and reduce the risk of traffic accidents caused by bad weather.

To sum up, the purpose of pasting reflective tape on traffic bollards is to improve their visibility at different times and in different environments, and to reduce traffic accidents and parking difficulties caused by their presence. These small reflective strips play an important role in urban traffic management, adding a guarantee to our driving safety and parking convenience.
