Beneficios que ofrece la implementación de la cinta termoplástica preformada, frente a los métodos de llana y spray en la demarcación de la señalización horizontal en las localidades de Chapinero, Candelaria y Santa Fé

Abstract

Road signaling in Colombia is considered an important factor to safeguard the lives of all road actors (drivers of large or small vehicles, motorcyclists, bicycle users, pedestrians, etc.), this document will emphasize the advantages and disadvantages that can bring a relatively new material such as preformed thermoplastic tape, compared to commonly used materials, all this taking into account its characteristics and composition, making a comparison, generated from the training process as labor trainees in the company Mantenimiento y Seguridad Vial (MYSV), without neglecting the current regulations which guarantees adequate quality standards, to respond to the need to provide safety on the roads of the city. In addition to safeguarding the life of the road actors, the consequences of the demarcation process, the physical condition of the workers and the environmental impact that conventional methods generate compared to the preformed thermoplastic tape, which is the object of study in the research, must be taken into account. This comparative analysis is also carried out thinking about important aspects such as those mentioned above.
