At 3M we are dedicated to improving traffic safety and mobility so motorists can arrive at their destinations faster and safer. Our high performance materials combine with innovative systems and services to help you bring the best roadway systems into reality. We have been your partner for over 75 years, and continue to bring innovation to the transportation safety industry.
Our retroreflective sign sheeting is designed to enhance safety for motorist by providing more visible road signs especially during nighttime when more accidents occur. We offer a full range of prismatic and beaded sheeting to meet Federal regulations and your agencies traffic signing needs.
Our Pavement Marking Solutions are designed to guide drivers during the day or night in dry or rainy conditions. Our technologies include high index optics, microcrystalline ceramic beads, durable components and advanced adhesives—all designed to help you keep drivers safe on the road.
Our temporary traffic control products are designed to provide enhanced visibility and improved safety in work zones and other areas where there is a change to traffic flow. We use both retroreflective and fluorescent technologies to create materials that make work zone devices, pavement markings and signs as visible as possible.
With nearly twice the reflectivity of lower-grade signage material, 3M Diamond Grade Sheeting helps create more visible signs, and more visible signs have been shown to cut nighttime accidents by up to 46%.
Full-cube retroreflective technology increases sign performance at all hours for all drivers. In fact, it is nearly 100% efficient whether viewed from short or long distances.
