City

Creating structure. Increasing safety. Optimising space.

Cities face the challenge of safely directing traffic flows and making optimal use of limited space. Effective traffic guidance and targeted traffic calming create clarity in road traffic and relieve highly frequented areas. Well-managed traffic areas also protect pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles alike. ELTECPUR® city elements support intuitive orientation, prevent disorderly parking and ensure that pathways remain clear. Whether in street spaces, at intersections, in car parks or parking structures: the high-quality construction elements provide visible structure and simultaneously reduce traffic conflicts.

FAQs – City (Traffic Guidance Systems)

What are traffic guidance systems used for in urban areas?

Traffic guidance systems structure traffic areas, increase safety and optimise the use of limited space. They direct traffic flows in a targeted manner and reduce conflicts between cars, cyclists and pedestrians.

What is the advantage of elastic curbs compared to concrete curbs?

Elastic curbs made of rubber granulate are:

  • Gentler on vehicles (tyres & rims)
  • Easier to install
  • More flexibly adaptable
  • Durable and low-maintenance

Unlike concrete, they reduce damage upon impact and are ideal for temporary or adaptable traffic solutions.

When are curb elevations used?

Curbs elevations are used to:

  • Protect pavements and cycle paths
  • Prevent illegal parking
  • Clearly separate traffic areas

They are particularly effective on level traffic surfaces.

How do curb elevations increase traffic safety?

Through:

  • Clear physical separation of traffic areas
  • High visibility through reflective elements
  • Targeted guidance of vehicles

This reduces accidents and provides better orientation in road traffic.

What are separation bars and what are they used for?

Separation bars are flat, overridable elements for:

  • Separation of traffic areas
  • Marking of lanes
  • Traffic guidance and calming

They are frequently used in multi-storey car parks, on parking areas and in urban areas.

How do separation bars differ from curbs?
  • Separation bars: overridable, guiding, flexibly deployable
  • Curbs: more strongly delimiting, stop vehicles

Separation bars are suitable for gentle traffic guidance, kerb stones for clear demarcation.

Are separation bars suitable for daily traffic?

Yes, they are:

  • Pressure-resistant
  • Abrasion-resistant
  • Weather-resistant (-40 to +80 °C)

They are thus designed for permanent use in urban traffic.

How are curbs and separation bars installed?

Installation is carried out:

  • Mechanically with screws and dowels
  • Optionally additionally bonded

A stable, level substrate is a prerequisite for permanent installation. Best practice: combination of mechanical and adhesive fixation.

Can traffic guidance systems be adapted retrospectively?

Yes, elastic systems can be:

  • Cut to size
  • Relocated
  • Extended

This is a major advantage over fixed concrete solutions.

How is visibility ensured in road traffic?

Through integrated:

  • Retroreflective films
  • Reflective strips
  • High-contrast colours

This ensures that the elements remain clearly visible even in darkness.

Are the products weather-resistant?

Yes, they are resistant to:

  • Rain and moisture
  • Frost and heat
  • UV radiation

This ensures a long service life even with intensive use.

What advantages do traffic guidance systems made of recycled rubber offer?
  • Sustainable and environmentally friendly
  • Durable and economical
  • Elastic and shock-absorbing

They combine ecological advantages with high technical performance.

Where are curbs used in urban areas?

Typical applications:

  • Car parks and multi-storey car parks
  • Traffic islands and roundabouts
  • Lane narrowing
  • Crossing aids

They optimise the use of space and increase safety.

How do traffic guidance systems help with traffic calming?

Through:

  • Visual and physical guidance
  • Lane narrowing
  • Clear structuring

This leads to reduced speeds and greater safety for all road users.

What are typical mistakes when planning traffic guidance systems?

Common mistakes:

  • No clear separation of traffic areas
  • Insufficient visibility
  • Wrong material choice

Best practice: use modular, elastic systems for maximum flexibility and safety.
