Active Road Studs

Road studs have been a core offering from Clearview since the 1990s when the first Astucia solar powered road studs were first installed. Since then, we have developed and continue to improve our technology in this area.

  • Low profile solar powered stud installed flush with the road surface.

  • Surface mounted solar powered stud ideal for edge delineation.

SolarLite Flush

SolarLite Flush studs combine solar-powered LED technology to deliver ultra-durable, low-profile illumination that enhances visibility up to 900 metres – day and night, in all conditions

SolarLite Flush Studs deliver up to 900 metres of active, solar-powered illumination – providing 10 times greater visibility than traditional retro-reflective studs.

Fully embedded flush with the road surface, their sleek, low-profile design withstands heavy traffic and extreme weather conditions, reducing maintenance and damage risks. Unlike conventional studs that rely on vehicle headlights with a typical range of just 90 metres, these studs use high-intensity LEDs to actively project light directly in the driver’s natural line of sight, significantly enhancing awareness and reaction times-especially on junctions, high-speed routes, and rural roads

Powered entirely by renewable solar energy and equipped with a long-life internal battery, SolarLite Flush studs operate sustainably and reliably year-round. Their cable-free design eliminates the need for external power sources, reducing installation impact, lowering energy costs, and cutting carbon emissions – making them a smart, eco-friendly choice for modern road safety.

Features

  • Up to 900m of visibility from high intensity LEDs
  • Totally sustainable harnessing free solar energy
  • Superior solar energy harvesting & storage electronics designed to maintain light outputs throughout a full annual cycle
  • Use where street lighting is either unavailable, not cost effective or environmentally not possible
  • Ideally suited to centre line and slip road use
  • Low profile of less than 4mm above the road surface
  • Full range of colour options for all delineation use including amber, red, white or green

Benefits

  • Superior distance visibility of road layout ahead compared to retro-reflective studs
  • Lower lifetime costs than traditional road studs
  • Superior visibility even in poor weather conditions and on wet roads
  • Decreases night time accidents by over 70%
  • Allows additional reaction time to respond to changing road layouts
  • Reduces erratic driving behaviour and smoothes braking along winding roads
  • Enhances driving experience, making drivers feel safer and more able to travel at night
  • Highly impactful and politically visible contribution towards reducing road safety fears
