imprint in shared space

Planners are considering ‘shared space’ as a new approach to road safety in town and city centres – a concept entailing the removal of kerb stones, barriers and traffic lights so that drivers have to make eye contact with pedestrians before proceeding.
An ideal application for such a busy road would be Prismo’s revolutionary road surfacing treatment, Imprint. The aesthetically appealing Imprint is up to 40% more cost-effective than traditional block paving techniques, is very safe and virtually maintenance-free – ruling out the risk of trip hazards and damage claims and eradicating weed infestation problems.
Imprint Creating the Right Impression in Selby

Whilst, nationally, our high streets have weathered the economic storm over the past 12 months, some well-known high street names have faded from view. You could, therefore, be forgiven for thinking that the local high street may be on the verge of disappearing too.
But not so in Selby, where North Yorkshire County Council has agreed to lay Prismo Imprint on the A63 Gowthorpe, which is the main high street running through the town centre linking Leeds on the east of the river and Hull on the west.
Imprint was chosen, as part of the Council maintenance programme, to impart the right impression and to improve the surface of Gowthorpe, thus providing an enhanced visible presence for parking bays outside local shops and at bus stops.
Prismo Road Marking’s contracting teams laid light grey Imprint in cobblestone finish, creating nearly 350m2 of hardstanding area. This installation period is less than half the time of more traditional block-paving techniques and the new surfacing was opened to traffic and pedestrians in under an hour.
Project Manager Derek Johnson, of main contractor Jacobs (acting on behalf of North Yorkshire County Council) commented “I’ve used Imprint before in North Yorkshire region and I know that it is capable of standing up to some heavy traffic and abuse. On this project we needed a product that would meet the aesthetic requirements, whilst at the same time presenting value for money all round. Imprint was the right choice.”
North Yorkshire County Council maintenance teams will further benefit from the installation of Imprint due to its weed resistance and low maintenance requirements. The product is extremely durable and will remain aesthetically pleasing for life.
With the help of Imprint, the look of the local high streets has improved dramatically…
Magic at Trafflex 2009

In a month when the predicted cuts on public spending were announced in the Chancellor’s budget, Prismo Road Markings Ltd exhibited at the NEC Birmingham on what turned out to be a very busy ‘Traffex’ show and one that appeared to be bucking the economic trend.
At the show, which ran from Tuesday 21st April until Thursday 23rd April, there was little sign that visitors were taking any notice of the current financial climate, arriving at the show in good numbers and showing positive interest in the products being displayed.
Many visitors headed straight for the Prismo stand, strategically positioned opposite the ‘Traffex’ café, spurred on by the word getting round that ‘magic’ was being conjured up on stand F80. They were lured by a magician who wowed the crowds with tricks, whilst at the same time, of course, introducing the products manufactured by the road safety markings company.
Prismo manufactures products that provide their own ‘safety’ magic too. Prismo’s Colourbright system is a good example. During the day, the patented safety solution acts as a coloured delineation and alerts drivers to potential road hazards. The real ‘trick’, however, occurs at night, when the vehicle’s headlights are reflected back from the Colourbright surface and the road surface lights up as a warning to the approaching driver.
Judging by the number of visitors to the Prismo stand over the three-day Traffex event, the magician proved a real success with many visitors directly commenting about the Prismo stand being much busier than its neighbours. Proof positive then that Prismo has the products, solutions and services that remain in demand to meet today’s road infrastructure issues. And that’s no illusion!
