One of the most important materials used to improve road marking performance is glass beads. These tiny spherical particles play a critical role in reflecting light back to drivers, significantly improving visibility and reducing accident risk. In this article, we\u2019ll explore what glass beads are, how they work in road markings, their types, applications, and why they are essential in modern traffic infrastructure. What Are Glass Beads in Road Markings? Glass beads are small, transparent, spherical particles made from high-quality recycled glass or raw glass materials. They are embedded into or dropped onto road marking paints and thermoplastic paints. Their primary function is retroreflection, meaning they reflect vehicle headlights back toward the driver, making road lines visible at night or in poor weather conditions. Without glass beads, road markings would appear flat and almost invisible after dark. How Glass Beads Improve Road Visibility ..."}
