Ulticolour coloured asphalt chosen for key transport project in Stirling

Walk Cycle Live Stirling’ is a project that aims to transform the city of Stirling into a more sustainable vibrant and accessible place for everyone to live work and visit. The objective was to create two key transport corridors to make it easier for people to walk and cycle into the city centre and encourage an increase in the number of shorter journeys made on foot and by bike. This would have a number of benefits including helping to reduce traffic congestion, improve both air quality and public health and create a better living and working environment. 

Ulticolour coloured asphalts were chosen as the surfacing materials as they helped complement and enhance this historic location and have demonstrated impressive durability and long-term performance, even on heavily trafficked routes like busy bus lanes. Using a clear binder and colour matched aggregates they produce brighter coloured asphalts that provide effective demarcation on footpaths, cycle lanes and highways. They are also BBA HAPAS accredited for use on UK highways as a thin surface course and have been used on UK roads for over 20 years. .
