7613 Lindsay Transportation Solutions (LTS) will have a major presence again this year at Intertraffic Amsterdam and will feature its internationally successful Road Zipper barrier transfer machine as well as highlighting several new innovations including a new profiled marking tape and a new CE marked crash cushion.

The Road Zipper System is designed to create a flexible, positive traffic barrier between opposing lanes of traffic, or between motorists and construction work zones while dynamically managing congestion. The system can create additional work zone space for construction crews, and provides more lanes to the peak traffic direction to mitigate congestion and accelerate the construction process.

Combined with advanced vehicle detection, software enabled variable message signs and safety gates to redirect traffic, the system can be implemented, in real-time, to make available additional safe lanes as traffic volume approaching the work zone increases or decreases.

Meanwhile, the latest LTS 124 Snoline product development sets new standards in the area of temporary road marking tapes with a profiled surface. The new Profiline T14A product, which complies with the highest German and European standards, has been developed to ensure excellent road marking quality for long-lasting construction sites. PROFILINE T14A has been subjected to winter durability testing on German road B4, near Harz, field managed by DSGS and the BASt. After nine months it was easily removed, leaving no trace on the road.

Profiline T14A allows clear traffic management in work zones during night and wet conditions: the design shape allows the rain to drain easily, and retroreflection of the glass beads is effective from all angles.

LTS will also be featuring Tau Tube, a new CE-marked crash cushion family with excellent impact performance at an affordable price.
