Road / Street furniture is a collective term (used mainly for)

objects and pieces of equipment installed on streets and roads for various purposes. It includes benches, traffic barriers, bollards, post boxes, phone boxes, streetlamps, traffic lights, traffic signs, bus stops, tram stops, taxi stands, public lavatories, fountains, watering troughs, memorials, public sculptures, and waste receptacles.

An important consideration in the design of street furniture is how it affects road safety.

PlasticsA plastic material is any of a wide range of

synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable. Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic, most commonly derived from petrochemicals, but many are partially natural

Recycling Most of the plastics are thermoplastics and they

can be easily re-melted and reused, and thermoset plastics can be ground up and used as filler, although the purity of the material tends to degrade with each reuse cycle.

Thus in many ways it saves nature, trees, forest, water, electricity, manpower, and money

Applicable Even in CIVIL ENGINEERING 6

`ROLE OF CIVIL ENGINEERS

1. ON / OVER THE ROAD 2. UNDER THE ROAD

AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT AMOUT OF PLASTICS USED UNDER THE ROAD ARE MUCH MORE IN DISTANCE THAT COVERS OVER THE ROAD.

BUT HERE WE WILL BE COVERING THE PLASTICS USED FOR SAFETY ON / OVER THE ROAD ONLY. 7
