Driver Safety and Comfort
Glare-Gaard™ is designed to provide protection from approaching vehicle headlight glare. At nighttime and in inclement weather visibility is significantly reduced by headlight glare. Glare is more problematic with high volumes of traffic.
Installation of a glare screen curtails the impact of headlight glare.
Glare screen improves visibility and helps delineate center barriers and
lanes, keeping vehicles on track, reducing accidents and slow downs.
Work Zone: Reduce gawking
Work Zone safety is paramount. Blocking motorist’s vision of work sites
(anti gawking) keeps traffic flowing and reduces the likelihood of accidents,
helping to keep workers safe and reducing the impact of work sites on
traffic flow.
