Glass beads perform an important function of traffic safety because of their retro-reflective properties. This property allows the motorist to clearly see the pavement line markings more clearly at night and in wet conditions.

Glass beads perform an important function of traffic safety because of their retro-reflective properties. This property allows the motorist to clearly see the pavement line markings more clearly at night and in wet conditions. When a car’s headlight beam shines on a pavement marking that is integrated-embedded-saturated with glass beads, the line stripes light up and become much easier to see at night. This effect is called retro-reflection. Paints that have glass beads in them have enhanced night-time reflectivity, higher visibility and safety for the driver.
