Conspicuity Tape to Illuminate Vehicles in Darkness

Driving can be a high-risk activity if circumstances are not completely favorable. It's one of the only daily activities that requires training and licensing. Road issues, vehicle issues, and environmental factors can affect visual accuracy.

Road signs, curve barriers, and business signs also could use an illumination boost. Use conspicuity tape for increased visibility in these circumstances.

Increased Visibility in Dark Situations

Imagine the liability that could ensue if a commercial vehicle, like a big rig, was in a wreck. Even if it was the other vehicle's fault, if the commercial vehicle was not sufficiently illuminated, it could mean legal action. 

ORALITE CONSPICUITY TAPE

For daytime hours as well as low-light times of day like sunrise, sunset, and nighttime, it's important for a vehicle to be illuminated. Commercial companies have found that using conspicuity tape for visibility in low light circumstances is an easy and low-cost option with high rewards.

Conspicuity tape has varied applications in commercial and personal equipment and vehicles. It alternates between red and white as a way to alert to the presence of the vehicle, equipment, boat, or sign.
  • Trucks, trailers, tankers, dump trucks, tow trucks, motorcycles
  • Agriculture and industrial equipment
  • Boats and boat docks
  • Emergency vehicles, school busses, freight rail cars  
  • And don't forget signage!
