If you are ever asking yourself “where to buy road safety equipment” or “road safety equipment in Australia,” – look no further than LDC Equipment. 

Road safety is a concern and a rising issue for all – workers, drivers, and pedestrians. In Australia alone, there are countless incidents, accidents, injuries, and sometimes casualties. Many of these cases could have been avoided if the proper procedures were in place, such as having the necessary road safety equipment. 

The importance of Road Safety Equipment: 

Safety: Installing equipment and devices at a high-risk location can be instrumental in providing safety for all. For instance, having signage inform drivers of road works and changing traffic conditions ahead. 

Visibility: Many projects can occur at night and in locations where traditional lighting is not available or limited. LDC Equipment can provide a range of lighting towers, from trailer mounted to one-man operated portable fixtures. 

Avoiding Collusions: In the past year, there have been an increased number of reports of collusions between traffic controllers and vehicles and other mishaps. There is equipment that can be installed that can take away the human factor. For instance, Tripod Mounted Portable Traffic Lights can be used and controlled by a traffic controller from a safe distance away from the road, out of harm’s way. 

Devices: LDC Equipment can offer a range of safety products, including traffic lights, speed check signs, signage, lighting towers and more. These devices can help maintain a cohesive traffic flow, minimise accidents, and help drivers through changed traffic conditions. 

Reducing Speed: A huge contributor to road accidents is speeding., even in standard road conditions. So, if there are changed road conditions, such as roadworks – speeding vehicles can be more hazardous. LDC Equipment can offer different Radar Speed Check Sign models. These signs can be effective in keeping the roads safe in changed road conditions or in vulnerable locations such as school zones. The signs can display the current speed limit, showing drivers their speed, and offer feedback such as “SLOW DOWN” if they are speeding. 

Emergency Situations: In emergency events such as car accidents that can result in lane closures, LDC Equipment can provide a range of products that can assist in maintaining the traffic flow, avoiding confusion, and keeping everyone safe. Such as arrow boards that can be mounted on vehicles and display directions to oncoming traffic. 

Awareness: One of the most important things for Road Safety Equipment other than safety is to raise awareness for traffic conditions among all drivers and pedestrians. Education is key to an effective and cohesive environment. Whether it is Speed Check Sign to inform drivers of their speed or VMS boards to alert of ‘road works ahead’. 

Traffic Flow: Any time there is a disturbance on the road, there is a domino effect on the traffic flow. This can range from traffic congestion to driver confusion, especially during peak times or in high-traffic areas. LDC Equipment can offer solutions such as Trailer Mounted Portable Traffic Lights that can be temporary placed to manage and maintain traffic.
