Dero partners with DEZIGNLINE™ to Introduce New Protected Bikeway and Pedestrian Solutions for Safer Streets
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 23, 2017 -- Dero is proud to partner with DEZIGNLINE™ to offer cities a suite of protected bikeway and pedestrian solutions to create safer streets. These systems are innovative, cost-effective modular infrastructure options that physically separate vehicular traffic from bike lanes and pedestrian zones.
As DEZIGNLINE’s exclusive distributor, Dero now offers its complete suite of complementary, aesthetically-pleasing products: BIKERAIL™, PEDRAIL™, Planters, and the PEDISTILL® Hand+Foot Rest. Designed to meet communities’ minimal-to-robust project needs, all solutions are appropriate for new or retrofit construction, and for temporary or permanent installation.
BIKERAIL™
This system is a strong steel barrier designed to create a fully protected bike lane. Steel Rail sections are 5” x 3” and available in 4’ and 8’ lengths.
PEDRAIL™
This system creates safe pedestrian zones, including intersection bump-outs, center medians and refuge islands. Steel rail sections are 4” x 2” and available in 2’ and 4’ lengths.
Both BIKERAIL and PEDRAIL feature narrow footprints and are comprised of segmental, modular components which make these systems easy to expand, contract, or reconfigure. Rapidly deployable, durable steel rails connect and swivel at RAILHINGE™ posts to create the desired barrier configuration; vertical delineators can be attached to any post. Street maintenance crews in northern climates appreciate the snowplow-friendly anchoring system, making for easy snow removal. There is also clearance underneath the rail which ensures storm water drainage. Available in galvanized or powder coat color.
Concrete Planters
Planters offer a green solution that provides maximum protection to cyclists in a bike lane. DEZIGNLINE’s two sizes of architectural precast concrete planters are available in five colors, each with an acid wash finish. Additional options include a self-watering system, signage and PEDISTILL® accessories.
PEDISTILL® Hand+Foot Rest
This one-piece steel accessory attaches to a DEZIGNLINE Planter. The planter-PEDISTILL combo is typically located in bike lane buffer zones at intersections and functions as a red-light rest stop for cyclists. The PEDISTILL is customizable and available in galvanized or powder coat color.
