![]() Lastly, it is important that the area of construction including the roadway and plate be reevaluated throughout the day and at the end of each day to ensure safety for everyone. If authorities are warned in advance, they will be more cautious and inform drivers in advance. This is to prevent accidents because the snow may reduce visibility for drivers and pedestrians. There should also be proper signs to indicate to drivers that they are approaching a road plate like “road plate ahead,” “bump,” or “caution: road plate ahead.” If road plates are used during the winter, it is important to notify local authorities of where they are. The edges must be marked so that the plate is visible for drivers and cyclists. If needed to counteract the uneven roadways, the plates must be countersunk. Usually, this means that the plate extends beyond a foot in order to meet that requirement. This strike comes complete with fasteners for a quick and easy installation. It features an extended lip with a 3-1/2 in. Prime-Line Chrome Plated, Dead Latch Door Strike (2-pack) This is a mortise lock that is excellent for either wood or aluminum door application, with an integration of keeper and lock for positive anti-lift protection. It is necessary that the road plate extend beyond the gravel of the construction site onto solid ground. Product Details This strike is constructed from brass and comes in a polished finish. It is usually made of asphalt and other filler substances (called bitumastic material) and it is a safety measure to make sure the plate is not too abrupt in the middle of the road which could be hazardous. When the steel plate is installed and becomes a road plate, a tapered ramp is used to connect the roadway with the edges of the steel plate. Additionally, a material that increases friction may be used as another safety measure-especially for motorcyclists and bicyclists. The amount of anti-skid coating used is usually dictated by federal, state, or local requirements. Anti-Skid coating is often applied to plates that will be used as road plates so they are less slippery. If multiple steel plates are used as road plates during construction, it is important that they are welded together at their longitudinal seams to make sure that they do not detach from one another which would be very dangerous. Important safety measures are required for the safe use of road plates to ensure that they are properly installed, properly skid-resistant, and properly marked to reduce hazards for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles. ![]()
