Cat eyes work by reflecting light back towards its source. When a vehicle's headlights hit the cat eyes, the light is reflected back towards the driver, making the edges of the road more visible. This can be especially helpful at night or in foggy or rainy weather when visibility is reduced.
Cat eyes are also used to mark hazards or potential obstacles on the road, such as curves, intersections, and bridges. They can also be used to direct traffic flow or to indicate the location of pedestrian crossings or other important areas.
In addition to their safety benefits, cat eyes can also be used for decorative purposes. They can be used to create patterns or designs on the road, or they can simply be used to add a touch of visual interest to the road surface.
Here are some additional details about road reflection or cat eyes:
* They are typically made of glass or plastic, but some can also be made of metal.
* They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the most common shape is a round or square disc.
* They are usually placed in the center of the road, but they can also be placed on the side of the road or on the shoulder.
* They are typically spaced at regular intervals, but the spacing can vary depending on the road conditions.
* Cat eyes are a valuable safety feature that can help to improve visibility and reduce the risk of accidents.
