3M’s new wet reflective pavement marking system – 3M All Weather Paint – has been recognized for its contribution toward improving roadway efficiency and increasing safety. The product was honored with a Global Road Achievement Award from the International Road Federation at the organization’s recent annual meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
3M All Weather Paint combines high-build resin with a unique dual-optics system that enhances both dry and wet reflectivity. Most pavement markings are visible in dry conditions, but become difficult to see when it rains. Special optics in 3M All Weather Paint are designed to work with water, providing highly visibly markings when drivers need them most—at night, in the rain.
The International Road Federation’s Annual Meeting was held in conjunction with the American Road & Transportation Builders Annual Convention and the Intertraffic North America International Trade Fair, bringing together transportation and traffic safety leaders from around the globe.
The Global Road Achievement Awards were presented on October 10. Accepting the award on behalf of 3M were Larry Lair, division vice president, and John Tobin, global sales & government affairs director, 3M Traffic Safety Systems Division.
Since inventing reflective materials nearly 70 years ago, 3M Traffic Safety Systems Division has been the worldwide leader in developing products, services and systems that help improve traffic safety and management.
