Reducing vehicle traffic speed at roundabouts is a key element in all road safety strategies. Towns and cities are seeking to calm the traffic in their streets in attractive, effective ways with a commitment to flexible solutions suited to the needs of each project.<\/p>\n

Need and project objectives.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vijfwegenstraat is one of the main roads in the town of Izegem in Belgium as it connects the railway station to important public services, crossing it from north to south.<\/p>\n

Excess speed was one of the biggest problems in this street. In 2015, Izegem Town Council installed New Jersey\u00a0<\/em>barriers to eliminate one of the two access lanes to one of the roundabouts in this street in order to reduce vehicle speed and improve safety for all street users.<\/p>\n

The visual ugliness of the concrete items installed and their poor visibility made the heads of the Department of Transportation seek a more attractive solution that would improve visibility in this area.<\/p>\n

The proposed solution.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"Finally, in 2017, Izegem Town Council removed the New Jersey barriers and chose to install 40 ZICLA\u00ae \u00a0Zebra\u00ae<\/a> family\u00a0planter units.This planter fulfils the function of segregating traffic flows, but it has also been designed to decorate public space.Its retro-reflective strips make it highly visible in urban environments.<\/p>\n

Zebra\u00ae planter\u00a0is a product made with recycled plastic. It lasts a long time and is fully recyclable. The plants require minimal watering, as the planter has an integrated seven-liter water tank.<\/p>\n
