Pavement Markers
Pavement Markers or Raised Pavement Markers are essential to roadway safety. They play an important role as a safety function on the roads while at the same time, communicating travel paths for short- and long-range vehicle operation. And although anyone can buy a type of marker for various reasons, they actually have specific purposes when used in traffic. White is used on the center and sides of a road when the striped lines are white. Yellow is used in the same way when the lines are yellow. Green designates an area where vehicles are allowed, much like a green light. Red designates a restricted area. Blue shows that a fire hydrant is nearby, normally directly in line with the marker. Yellow/Red is for yellow striped roads that are one-way streets so the red would show that a car is going the wrong way. Overall, Raised Pavement Markers improve delineation and increase preview time particularly under wet conditions. They statistically have been shown to decrease crash rates on highways that have Raised Pavement Marker center lines by approximately 0.5 crashes per million vehicle miles. With that being said, Raised Pavement Markers of all kinds are necessary on all roadways.

 RayoliteSometime in the late 1960's, Rayolite (then "I.T.L.") was given the task by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to improve highway visibility during foggy, dark and rainy conditions. Their solution at the time was a cubed corner reflective lens that could be installed on highway lines for delineation during night-time. This lead to the creation of Raised Pavement Markers. Now, with the technology and innovation Rayolite is capable of along with the goal of safer highways, they manufacture and sell high quality RPM's throughout the U.S. & 20 more countries worldwide. |  PexcoIt's no surprise that Pexco manufactures Raised Pavement Markers.
