What are the sound guides of the road and how do you recognize them

They are aimed at minimizing damage or avoiding the most common accidents that occur on conventional roads at intersections, overtaking or going off road

The sound deflectors, both in the central reservation on separated lanes and in the margins, prevent the road from being left or the opposite lane from being taken (between 18 and 21%); pigmented sidewalks (35%); separation of traffic directions (between 38 and 40%) and protection of ditch crossings (70%).

They are aimed at minimizing damage or avoiding it
most common statements that occur on conventional roads at intersections, overtaking or going off the road, according to the DGT.

Specifically, the sound guides are small indentations or protrusions in the road surface that, when the vehicle’s tire steps on them, produce vibrations or noise. They can be placed to separate traffic directions or at the edge of the road.

Its purpose is to warn distracted or drowsy drivers that they are unintentionally straying from their path to avoid an off-road or ghost road encroachment.

They also serve to reinforce line compliance or to warn drivers that they are entering a dangerous section. In addition to avoiding hard shoulder invasions and protecting vulnerable users who can circulate on it.

Likewise, both the noise edge guides and the directional separation guides have an accident reduction factor of 21%.
