Highway and pedestrian road stud installation. Reflective cat's eyes for motorways, A-roads and urban streets across Wales and the South West.
Road studs — commonly known as cat's eyes — are one of the most effective passive road safety features ever invented. These reflective devices guide drivers at night and in poor weather, significantly reducing lane departure accidents. Roman Road Marking provides professional road stud installation across Newport, Cardiff, Swansea and the whole of South Wales.
As Sector Scheme 7 approved contractors, we install road studs to National Highways standards on motorways, trunk roads, A-roads, B-roads and urban streets.
Standard retroreflective studs contain glass or plastic lenses that bounce headlight beams back towards the driver. Available in all standard colours, modern retroreflective studs last 10 years or more.
The classic depressible cat's eye uses a rubber housing that allows the stud to be depressed by passing traffic. Each time a vehicle drives over, the reflective lenses are wiped clean — making cat's eyes highly effective in wet and dirty conditions.
Solar studs use LED lights powered by built-in solar cells. Visible from up to 900 metres compared to 90 metres for passive studs. Increasingly specified for high-risk locations, roundabouts and rural roads.
Did you know? Road studs reduce night-time accidents by up to 70%. Combined with quality thermoplastic markings, they form the backbone of passive road safety infrastructure.
Missing or damaged studs are a safety hazard — particularly in winter. We offer replacement and maintenance programmes for councils across South Wales. We combine road stud work with thermoplastic marking and anti-skid surfacing for complete safety packages. Contact us for a survey.
White marks lane lines, red marks the left edge, amber marks the central reservation, and green marks slip roads and lay-bys. These colours are standardised across the UK.
Modern retroreflective studs last 8-12 years. Depressible cat's eyes can last longer with their self-cleaning mechanism. Solar studs have battery lifespans of 5-7 years.
Yes. Road studs are excellent for private roads, estate roads, car parks and industrial sites — particularly at junctions, bends and speed reduction areas.
