What is a Traffic Safety Mirror?
A Traffic Safety Mirror (a convex mirror, dome mirror, or parking lot mirror) is made from glass or acrylic and installed in open or enclosed parking areas, major minor road intersections, and pedestrian-vehicle crossing points. These mirrors are designed in a convex shape and provide a wide-angle view, making them essential for traffic safety. Since they help eliminate blind spots, they are also called blind spot mirrors.
Shapes and Sizes of Traffic Safety Mirrors
Traffic safety mirrors come in various shapes and sizes, primarily round and rectangular. Their dimensions range from 30 to 120 cm, and prices vary accordingly.
How to Choose a Traffic Safety Mirror
When selecting a traffic safety mirror, it is important to consider the location where it will be used. Choosing the wrong size can result in inadequate visibility. In some situations, using multiple mirrors may be necessary to ensure proper field of vision.
Difference Between Acrylic and Glass Mirrors
Glass Safety Mirror
✅ Provides a sharper reflection due to its material properties
✅ Maintains its form for many years
✅ Highly resistant to extreme weather conditions
Acrylic Safety Mirror
✅ 50% lighter than glass, making installation and transportation easier
✅ Made from 2 mm impact-resistant acrylic material
✅ More resistant to impact compared to glass mirrors
✅ Shatterproof – in case of breakage, no sharp glass pieces are formed, reducing injury risks
