Roadside Convex Safety Mirrors are widely used by both commercial premises and local authorities to help eliminate blind spots on approach to roads, junctions and entrances. Convex mirrors are ideal for use in road safety applications - because the domed effect of the mirror will give a wider angle view it will allow the driver to see down the road from a wider range of parked positions.
Steel road mirrors are ideal for use in urban and rural settings. The steel design is highly resistant against impact and will provide years of service life on Irish roads.
Road safety mirrors are also ideal for use at hidden entrances and exits at rural business premises. Install the mirrors in places where HGV drivers or employees are having trouble seeing around blindspots. Having road safety mirrors in place on commercial premises can reduce the risk of accidents and collisions drastically.

Do Convex Mirrors really work?
Convex mirrors are highly effective and are very popular with local authorities and business owners. There are two main reasons why mirrors won’t help: they may be weathered excessively or they are too small. Even after as little as two years, the Winter cold and the Summer sun can cause cheaper acrylic mirrors to deteriorate – the cold can cloud cheap acrylic mirrors and the sun can make them brittle.
The SeeClear Traffic Steel Convex Mirrors provide a highly durable option for Irish roadways. The steel design can be mounted to standard 76mm poles with the included bracket. The steel mirror is a favourite with local authorities and businesses as it requires little to no maintenance and is highly robust during use.
What size Convex Mirror do I need?
Each of our product pages for our mirrors will show a maximum viewing distance rating – typically a 600mm diameter convex mirror is useful when viewed no more than 6 Metres or 20 feet away. Above this distance you need to use a bigger mirror. In truth if your roadside mirror is not big enough – it may actually be a detriment to road safety.
