Retroreflectivity, both vertical and horizontal, plays a crucial role in road safety by enhancing the visibility of traffic signs and markings in low-light conditions. The retroreflection gun RetroSign GRX-3 is an essential tool for accurately measuring these attributes.
The RetroSign GRX-3 assesses the effectiveness of vertical and horizontal surfaces by measuring their ability to reflect light from vehicle headlights. By emitting light towards traffic signs and road markings, the gun measures the amount of retroreflected light. Adequate retroreflection, both vertically and horizontally, ensures that these surfaces are clearly visible, thus improving driver guidance during the night.
The information gathered with the RetroSign GRX-3 gun is essential for maintaining high standards of road safety. Retroreflectivity in both directions contributes to safe and efficient driving, ensuring that signs and markings are easily perceptible in various lighting conditions.
