TransLink's Brighouse decorative crosswalk in Richmond features TrafficPatternsXD preformed thermoplastic, stamped into the asphalt, across No. 3 Road.
TransLink SkyTrain
TransLink's Brighouse Decorative Crosswalk in Richmond is in the final stages of completion. Part of the improvements was the installation of TrafficPatternsXD crosswalks within the development area and across No. 3 Road.
TrafficPatternsXD is a preformed thermoplastic treatment, stamped into the asphalt and designed to perform under high traffic road conditions. An ideal choice for enhanced crosswalks on roadways and commercial parking lots.
Fast to install, colour stable and skid/slip resistant, and available in a wide range of colours and patterns, TrafficPatternsXD has proven itself across Canada over nearly twenty years.
Durable decorative crosswalks
TrafficPatternsXD (Durable Crosswalks and Traffic Calming Devices) is an aggregate-reinforced preformed thermoplastic with high wear resistance. The result is a traffic-tough surface with the look of brick or paving stone, without the maintenance issues.
TrafficPatternsXD helps to:
- Improve traffic safety: especially at intersections and multi-use paths by enhancing visibility for motorists, cyclists as well as pedestrians
- Community branding: Build community image and pride; attract new business
- Channel pedestrians: Across busy commercial parking lot areas
High Skid/Slip Resistant for Safety: The factory-applied aggregate within the material and additional site surface applied aggregate provides excellent skid/slip resistance. Because anti-skid material is embedded throughout the material, as it slowly wears, new anti-skid elements are exposed.
Fast Installation: Means minimal traffic and community disruption. Crosswalks are installed and open to traffic in a matter of hours.
High Durability: TrafficPatternsXD is field proven over many years on Canadian roadways and designed for crosswalks and traffic calming devices under heavy traffic and hard weather.
Accessibility & Maintenance: TrafficPatternsXD is stamped into the asphalt surface itself, so there is no uneven settlement over time. The result is a smooth, accessible surface with no trip edge.
- Eliminates the maintenance and safety concerns of loose pavers and slippery stamped concrete
- Repairs if necessary can be made with minimal traffic disruption
Certified installers: We train and monitor a network of certified installers, so your project is installed on time, on budget and to specification.
Quality Assurance: All preformed thermoplastic materials meet ISO 9001 quality standards for design, development and manufacturing.
TrafficPatternsXD is designed for Canadian roadways and commercial parking lots, as a decorative and safety treatment for:
- Crosswalks
- Streetscape revitalization
- Level medians
- Roundabout aprons & gore points
- Commercial parking lot markings
- Traffic calming devices
TrafficPatternsXD is stamped into the asphalt by HUB's 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.
