There is a recurring concern about how to decide where to place an HFS This is where the experience of the various parties involved in the installation of this system comes into play. Therefore, the main criteria to be considered are the following
Ientification of black spots, based on the accident rate (if available), as well as direct observations of the responsible engineers and user complaint records.
When there is a combination of factors, e.g. good friction and macro-texture but poor curve layout, the above (a) should be used to better understand if there is a need to install an A.F.S., when in doubt, the recommendation is always to go on the side of safety and install the A.F.S. in a preventive manner.
Black spots on a motorway are typically the following: Dangerous curves, steep gradients, gassings, toll booth approaches and junctions. It is common to find a combination of these factors.
According to experience, the best area of application of an S.A.F., once the black spot has been identified, is the beginning and end of the curve, slope or combination of them, depending on the particular case. Since the relevance of experience is mentioned here, it is highly recommended that the determination of the areas to be treated be made by trained engineers.

High friction for roads
Increases safety by reducing the accident rate, especially on bends, curves, steep downhill slopes , approaching toll booths and crossings, among others.
High friction for roads
Cycleways
It provides a safe and comfortable surface with high visibility in accordance with international chromaticity standards.
Cycleways
Decorative
It can be applied in different colors and on asphalt, concrete and metal surfaces. Its durability is certified for a period between 5 or more than 10 years.
Decorative
Pedestrian
Used as a complementary finish in a wide range of environments, it improves pedestrian safety by being used in handicapped bays or pedestrian rest and circulation areas.

Draining
It is mainly used in planters, sidewalks, pedestrian walkways, bicycle paths and vehicular areas, it adapts very well to any type of shape and also allows easy installation of additional accessories such as lighting fixtures or irrigation systems.
Draining
Luminescence
Provides aesthetic brightness and safety at night, it is a photoluminescent particle with a size of 2-5 mm added to the aggregates used in the Rocbinda system. It lights up the road. It is charged by daylight and lights up at night.
