Traffic and Parking Mirrors

Convex Traffic Mirrors That Eliminate Blind Spots

A convex traffic mirror shows drivers a wide view of corners, ramps and junctions they cannot see directly. These safety mirrors are used at car park entrances and exits, underground parking ramps, private roads, factories and warehouse aisles to reduce the risk of collisions.

Mirror Types and Sizes

• Round convex mirrors: 45, 60, 80, 90 and 100 cm diameters with an acrylic mirror face.
• Rectangular mirrors: 40x60 cm and 60x80 cm with white or yellow frames.
• Mirror and post sets: supplied with a 2, 2.5 or 3 metre post, plus a twin parking mirror set.
• Posts and accessories: Ø60 mm galvanized posts with 2 mm wall, 1.5–3 metre flanged posts and a wall mounting bracket.

Choosing the Right Size

The larger the mirror, the greater the viewing distance. A 45–60 cm mirror usually suits narrow private roads and underground car park corners, while 80–100 cm mirrors are better for wide junctions and entrances that need a long view. Remember that convex mirrors make objects look further away, so encourage drivers to slow down.

Installation Advice

Mount the mirror above driver eye level, angled to show the whole roadway to be monitored. Use the bracket for walls and a mirror post in open areas. Flanged posts bolt to the ground, while plain posts are set in concrete. After installation, check the view from inside a vehicle and fine-tune the angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will an acrylic mirror break? Acrylic is lighter than glass and more impact resistant, which makes it suitable for outdoor use.

What post height should I choose? Pick a height at which pedestrians and vehicles cannot hit the mirror; 2.5 or 3 metre posts are common outdoors.

Can I buy the mirror and post separately? Yes. Mirrors and posts are available individually or as a set.
