A DEVELOPMENT IN ROAD-MARKING MATERIALS: FORMED - IN SITU PLASTIC, RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS

A process has been developed to enable suitably filled polyester resin to be applied in cheap, thin-walled poly-propylene plastic cases to form in situ raised pavement markers. These are self adherent to bituminous surfaces and provide an economic means of lane delineation which is long lasing, hard wearing and visible under wet conditions. This method of application does not appear to have been used elsewhere. The process can be readily adapted to suit a variety of special conditions, and to apply markers of different shapes and colours.
