8.5.3 Comments to the measurement of profiled road marks 

Most oft he profiled road marks have a higher retroreflection value on the front side 
than on the upper side.  
By measuring several places of a profile an average value over the whole profile is 
calculated, which respects front and upper side evenly and therefore integrates the 
overall impression of the road mark.  

 

Measuring concept R

L

: The measuring instruments contain the geometry as 

represented below in a smaller scale (refer to chapter 17 

„Graphical illustration of 

the measuring principles

“ page 61).  

 

By the predetermined geometry there is a constant relation between the height of 
profiles and the lenght of the shadowing effects: length = 46 * height  
(i.e. for a height of a profile of 1 mm there is shadowing of 46 mm)
