Cole also notes that red and green markers may be placed on private roadways, e.g. Utility companies may also deploy green RPMs to help them find roadside installations quickly, especially in an emergency. They’re most often used on roads around gated communities to indicate access for emergency vehicles. Marcia Lozer, a spokeswoman for 3M Roadway Safety, notes that blue RPMs may also indicate emergency entrances onto roads near firehouses-so they’re something even regular motorists might want to notice. If the hydrant stands at a corner, then each road might have its own marker. Steven Cole, president of the Reflective Tape Store, notes that blue markers are typically placed at the center of the road or on the side.

The posts basically come in Red or Blue.not sure what color I would use. Thought I might invest $10 or $15 dollars in a few reflector posts, which might help.Īnyone agree, disagree, any better ideas? Our street is gravel and no street lights.Ĭalled the road department and they basically told me tough. This is a quasi-rural area but pretty darn close to a big town and we do get a fair number of Sunday drivers out for a ride. I KNOW the street and even I have to be pretty darn careful since this traffic safety improvement A friend was over the other night and complained about it to me.
The local government realigned the turnoff to our street last summer and ever since then people have been having trouble making the turn and end up in the ditch.
