According to Neil Theobald, Principal Projects Officer at the time with Cheshire County Council, “We have monitored the performance of the 290 Road Stud over the last 9 years. It has certainly proved to withstand the test of time, and indeed, a recent visual night time inspection has shown this stud to retain more of its initial reflectivity than other alternative road studs at this site. As a result, we have amended future specifications to include the 3M 290 Road Studs on all Cheshire\u2019s roads.\u201d<\/p>\n
