New White Rock Pier decorative crosswalk

A TrafficPatternsXD decorative crosswalk installed at the White Rock Pier in time for the pier's re-opening after a $4 million storm repair.

In time for the re-opening of the White Rock Pier

Take a look at the newly upgraded White Rock Pier Decorative Crosswalk. White Rock re-opened the Pier this September Labour Day long weekend. The upgrade includes a new TrafficPatternsXD Decorative Crosswalk, installed by Square One.

The damaged section of the pier cost $4 million to repair, while another $11 million was needed for upgrades to the rest of the pier so it can withstand future storms.

Friends of the Pier, a community group, has also raised about $200,000 toward its $2-million contribution goal.

White Rock's pier is the longest in Canada.

Durable crosswalks and traffic calming devices

TrafficPatternsXD is an aggregate-reinforced preformed thermoplastic with high wear resistance. The result is a traffic-tough decorative asphalt surface that looks like brick or paving stone without the maintenance.

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 areas

High skid and slip resistance: 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. TrafficPatternsXD crosswalks are installed and open to traffic in a matter of hours, not days or weeks.

High Durability: TrafficPatternsXD is field-proven over many years on Canadian roadways and designed for crosswalks and traffic calming surfaces under extreme traffic and weather.

Accessibility and maintenance: TrafficPatternsXD is stamped into the asphalt surface itself, so there is no unevenness from settlement over time. The result is a smooth, accessible surface with nothing to trip on.

  • 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 a high standard.

Quality Assurance: All preformed thermoplastic materials meet ISO 9001 quality standards for design, development and manufacturing.
