Wildlife Warning Reflectors

How it works

The headlights of approaching vehicles strike wildlife reflectors installed on both sides of the road. Unnoticeable to the driver, these reflect red light into adjoining areas and an optical warning fence is produced. Any approaching wildlife is alerted and stops or returns to the safety of the countryside. Immediately after the vehicle has passed, the reflectors become inactive, thereby permitting the animals to cross safely.

How the relector works

Seven Advantages of Austrian FlagSWAREFLEX® Wildlife Reflectors

  1. Proven through usage
    Thousands of miles of European roads where deer frequently cross have been made safe with SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors. The results were so successful that the Austrian Government decided to subsidise the purchase and installation of SWAREFLEX® reflectors.
  2. Preserves the natural habitat of wildlife
    Unlike fixed fences which interrupt the accustomed roaming paths of wildlife, the optical warning fence of SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors is activated only when a vehicle is approaching.
  3. No reflection to driver
    SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors do not reflect red lights back to the driver but divert them to the adjacent countryside.
  4. Simple installation and cleaning
    Only two screws are required to mount SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors to wooden, plastic or metal posts. SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors have a wide angle of horizontal reflection. Recommended spacing is therefore half the standard distance between maker posts. SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors are optical devices; their effectiveness is impaired by dust and grime. Their smooth surface may be easily cleaned with a dry cloth dry wet sponge. Machine washing of marker posts automatically includes their wildlife reflectors and they are cleaned, as well.
  5. Suitable for every terrain
    SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors are designed for level or sloping roadsides.
  6. Cost-effective solution
    The installation of SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors for endangered stretches of highways offers significant economic advantages in comparison to continuous wildlife fencing. Preventing just one accident with game represents savings equivalent to the cost of installing the SWAREFLEX® system for almost one mile.
  7. Highly advanced technical design
    The reflector and casing are made as one compact unit. SWAREFLEX® wildlife reflectors are non-corrosive and resistan to de-icing salts. Moisture condensation will not build up within the reflectors.
