What Is Rumble Strip Paint?
Rumble Strip Paint is a high-build road marking material specifically engineered to create raised audible–tactile profiles on road surfaces. When vehicles pass over these raised structures, they generate vibration and sound, providing a critical safety warning for fatigued or distracted drivers. This high-visibility, high-friction system is widely used on expressways, highway shoulders, centerlines, bridge approaches, tunnel entrances, and accident-prone curves.
Types of Rumble Strip Paint
• Thermoplastic Rumble Strip Paint: Applied at 180–210°C using extrusion or profile machines, forming 3–10 mm raised patterns.
• MMA (Cold Plastic) Rumble Strip Paint: Cold-applied, high-durability, chemical-cure formulation ideal for heavy-traffic zones.
• Preformed Rumble Strip Tape: Factory-made raised structures for rapid installation and maintenance work.
Key Performance Features
• Produces strong audible and tactile feedback to prevent unintended lane departure.
• Excellent wet-night visibility with high-grade reflective glass beads.
• High skid resistance for improved vehicle handling in critical zones.
• Long service life under heavy-duty traffic and harsh weather conditions.
• Compatible with expressways, rural highways, tunnels, and high-risk areas.
Technical Specification Highlights
• Build Thickness: 3–10 mm, typical 4–6 mm.
• Initial Retroreflectivity: 250–500 mcd/m²/lx (with drop-on glass beads).
• Skid Resistance: ≥ 45 BPN.
• Durability: 24–48 months for thermoplastic; 36–60 months for MMA.
• Profile Geometry: Ridge width 20–40 mm, height 3–7 mm, spacing 200–500 mm.
• Compliance: Compatible with AASHTO, ASTM, EN1871, JT/T280, SASO, AS/NZS requirements.
Recommended Applications
• Highway shoulder rumble strips
• Centerline vibration markings
• Approaches to toll gates and tunnels
• Dangerous curves and fatigue-prone straight sections
• Bridge entry/exit zones
• Speed-reduction and warning areas
Market Status & Global Trends
Demand for rumble strip paint continues to rise globally due to the increase in smart transportation projects and government road safety investments. In North America, Europe, GCC countries, and Africa, rumble strips are now standard components of road safety design. The growing adoption of low-VOC formulations, high-reflectivity microspheres, and structured wet-night lines further accelerates the market. Joint-venture local production and OEM brand expansion are key trends for 2024–2030.
