In general, when driving on an expressway, in order to avoid a rear-end collision, always visually measure the distance between the vehicle you are driving and the vehicle in front, and keep a safe distance. You must drive in such a way as to maintain the

Conventionally, in order to visually measure this inter-vehicle distance,
50 of 3 types of signboards written 0m, 50m, 100m
They are placed on the shoulder of the expressway every m to serve as visual markers, and white line markings are applied across the road surface in accordance with the positions of the sign boards to serve as visual markers as well.

However, on the signboards, drivers who are driving at high speeds are unable to follow the signs written on the signs such as 0m, 50m, etc.
It is difficult to clearly identify letters such as 100m while visually measuring the distance from the vehicle in front, and especially at night, it is extremely difficult to instantly distinguish them from letters illuminated only by the headlights of a car. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance between vehicles.

On the other hand, white line markings provided by applying white paint are likely to be scratched off by tires and erased in a short period of time on expressways with heavy traffic. In addition, when the white line markings are reapplied, white paint is applied while marking one lane of the expressway as under construction and regulating traffic, which causes traffic congestion each time. I had the inconvenience of having to put it away.

This embodiment is an example applied to an expressway 1 formed with three or more lanes, that is, four lanes on each side. This expressway 1 has an overtaking lane 3a, an inside lane 3b, and an outside lane 3c drawn on the road surface in order from the center separator 2 to the outside to divide the area up to the road shoulder 4 into four lanes. In this embodiment, markings 5a, 5b, and 5c, each consisting of a hollow three-dimensional figure of different height, are provided at intervals of 50 m for 100 m in the vehicle traveling direction (thick arrows in Figure 1) in the inner lane 3b. It is formed by To be more specific, the nearest 0
The sign 5a located at the m position is 40 cm high and colored red, and the sign 5b located at the middle 50 m position is 65 cm high and colored yellow.
The height of the sign 5c located at the farthest 100m position is
It is 80cm long and colored green. In FIG. 1, the length in the traveling direction is shorter than the actual length for convenience of drawing display. Each of the signs 5a, 5b, and 5c has a truncated conical pedestal 6 with a hollow pillar 7 made of rubber that can be restored even if stepped on by a vehicle, as shown in the sign 5a of FIG. 2, for example. The base 6 is removably fixed to the base 6 by bolts 8. A reflective sheet 9 is provided on the upper part of the hollow column 7.
Then, these three indicators 5a, 5b, 5c are
It is preferable to provide a plurality of sets consecutively in the running direction or to arrange them here and there.

次に、本実施例の作用を説明する。 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

In general, it is said that the effective forward viewing angle of a driver driving at high speed on a highway is approximately 40 degrees. Therefore, the effective forward viewing angle, which is used to visually measure the inter-vehicle distance by observing the markings on the road shoulder while keeping a close eye on the vehicle running in front, is very narrow, approximately 20 degrees. At this narrow viewing angle, it is difficult to provide an effective marker for measuring the distance between vehicles without placing any burden on the driver.

Therefore, in this embodiment, each of the marking bodies 5a, 5b, and 5c is provided so that it naturally falls within the driver's effective front field of view and can serve as a landmark for measuring the distance between vehicles. In other words, each of the signs 5a, 5b, and 5c, whose height increases successively at 50 m intervals, can easily come into the driver's field of vision just by looking at the vehicle running in front of him. Since the height is perceived as a changing image that gradually increases as the vehicle advances, it functions as an effective landmark for measuring the distance between vehicles. Therefore, the driver does not use these signs 5a, 5b, and 5c to make judgments that require time and attention, such as reading letters, like in the past, day or night. , the distance between vehicles can be determined very easily, quickly and reliably. In addition, each sign body 5a, 5b,
Since the markings 5c are arranged in different colors, in combination with the difference in height, the function as a mark is enhanced, and furthermore, it is possible to easily grasp the distance between vehicles.

また、各標示体5a,5b,5cは、万一車両

In addition, each sign 5a, 5b, 5c can be restored even if it is stepped on by a vehicle, and is removably attached to the road surface of the inside lane 3b, so even if it is damaged, a new one can be installed. It is possible to easily reinstall the appropriate sign, and there is no need to carry out traffic regulations for a long period of time as in the past.

In addition, each sign 5a, 5b, 5c is on the inside lane 3.
It may be provided at a location other than b, for example, alone or in combination with the median strip 2 or the like. In addition, on roads where vehicles run in opposite directions across the center line without providing a center separator, it is preferable to provide each of the marking bodies 5a, 5b, and 5c on the center line.

また、標示体としては設置する道路の条件に応

Furthermore, the height, shape, installation interval, etc. of the markings may be changed as appropriate depending on the conditions of the road on which they are installed. For example, on a two-lane oncoming road,
As shown in Figure 3, from the leftmost part of the figure to the right, the lowest 40
A 65cm high marker 10b is placed at the 50m point, and the lowest 40cm marker 1 is placed every 5m from 55m to 95m.
0a and the highest sign 10c of 80cm at the 100m point. In this case, since the signs 10a, 10b, and 10c are consecutively provided at 5 m intervals, the driver can easily recognize the presence of the signs and easily measure the distance between vehicles. .

また、第4図に示すように、道路鋲11aを適

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, road studs 11a may be arranged at appropriate intervals, and markings 11b and 11c whose heights increase in order may be provided at 50 m points and 100 m points, respectively.
