Abstract (en)

Preformed pads (30) are applied to traffic lines either by flame heating to softness an existing traffic line (32) followed by pressing the pads, of the same thermoplastic material as the line, onto the softened line, or by applying the pads to a freshly applied line prior to it hardening. The pads are placed by a machine dispensing same one by one from a magazine, cutting same from a web, or unrolling a pad-carrying weg onto the traffic line. The preformed pads are preferably flat and rectangular and, containing retroreflective spheres or provided with reflective strips, are of greater reflectivity than the traffic line.
