High durability crosswalks

Crosswalks for Canadian municipalities and commercial parking lots

More and more Canadian communities and commercial parking lot owners are looking to enhance their brand, streetscapes and parking lot attractiveness and safety. Finding practical treatments for attractive hardscapes that do not result in long-term maintenance liabilities can be a challenge. TrafficPatternsXD's record is why it makes some of the best crosswalks in Canada. Traditional decorative crosswalk material such as stamped concrete and cementitious pavers in street and parking lot environments can be the cause of liabilities and ongoing maintenance costs, specifically when placing different pavement materials side by side within a roadway or commercial parking lot where pavement heave and settlement is potentially an issue.

Why TrafficPatternsXD:

Accessibility & Maintenance

TrafficPatternsXD is stamped into the asphalt surface, so structural integrity of the overall pavement surface is maintained, which avoids the heave and settlement common to stamped concrete and paver systems. The result is a smooth, snowplow-safe, slip-resistant, accessible surface with no trip edge.

Skid/Slip (coefficient of friction) resistance

  • Exceeds MOT requirements

Fast installation

  • Means minimal traffic and community disruption: crosswalks installed and open to traffic within hours

Easily Repairable

  • Fast replacement when a utility cut goes through it

Durable

  • Over 15 years of proven performance on Canadian roadways in Canadian climates

Durable crosswalks and traffic calming devices

TrafficPatternsXD calms traffic and adds visual appeal to a development. TrafficPatternsXD uses a specialized aggregate-reinforced preformed thermoplastic material with high wear resistance. The result is a traffic-tough decorative asphalt surface with the look of brick or paving stone, without the maintenance issues.

A decorative treatment stamped into the asphalt, made for Canadian roadways and commercial parking lots.

Some decorative and safety enhancement treatments include:

  • Crosswalks
  • Streetscape revitalization
  • Level medians
  • Roundabout aprons & gore points
  • Commercial parking lot markings
  • Traffic calming devices

TrafficPatternsXD is stamped into the asphalt by HUB certified installers. The 2 ft. x 2 ft. sheets of material are positioned on the non-stamped, prepared asphalt surface. The material is heated to allow proper embedment of the anti-skid elements. A specialized grid (stamping template) is impressed into the material. A wide range of standard as well as custom patterns and colours are available.
