The Reason of Solar Road Studs’ Damage

Solar road studs are now a common traffic safety facility. But when solar road studs just appeared, they were questioned and destroyed. The role of solar road studs on roads is not only to illuminate the edge of the road at night, but also to indicate the direction of the car by illuminating the road in rainy and foggy weather. In short, the appearance of solar road studs greatly improves the road safety and driver’s safety.

Many years ago, a number of solar road studs were installed in cities in China. But after a while, the solar road studs, known as compression resistant and maintenance free, were destroyed. Moreover, the number of damaged solar road studs is not small. Even a few solar road studs can work.

Is it the quality of solar road studs that have problems, or is it caused by human damage? According to the construction company, the solar road studs have a design life of 5 years, and so many damages have occurred in less than one year, because of many reasons.

First, the main reason is that the ash deposition of solar road studs is not the main reason. Because of rain erosion and road vibration, solar road studs can have self purification function.

The damage of the base of solar road studs caused by overload and over-speed is huge, which makes the solar road studs not working normally. Especially, some road signs change, and the chances of the solar road studs being rolled are more likely to be damaged.
