Applications

Roads & highways

For superior retroreflectivity in both dry and wet conditions, we combined durable beads with multiple refractive index beads for pavement-marking products that provide excellent visibility to drivers.

In addition, 3M offers cloud-based solutions for tracking road asset condition and maintenance needs, and a system that provides real-time notifications when critical assets are damaged and need to be returned to safe working order.
