What Are Road Studs or Cat Eyes?
Road studs are reflective devices fixed onto the surface of roads to indicate lanes, centerlines, and edges. The term “cat eyes” comes from their bright reflection when light, such as vehicle headlights, hits them—resembling the glow of a cat’s eyes at night. They act as silent guides for drivers, offering clear visual cues even in darkness or rain.
Types of Road Studs
Depending on the location and road conditions, different types of road studs are used:
- Plastic Road Studs – Lightweight and economical, suitable for urban and low-traffic roads.
- Aluminum Road Studs – Highly durable and ideal for high-speed highways and heavy traffic routes.
- Solar Road Studs – Equipped with solar-powered LED lights for enhanced night-time visibility.
- Glass Bead/Ceramic Studs – Long-lasting and often used for decorative or specific signaling purposes.
Benefits of Road Studs

- All-Weather Functionality: Effective during rain, fog, or poor lighting conditions.
