Orange is a city located in Orange County, California. It is approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) north of the county seat, Santa Ana. Orange is unusual in this region because many of the homes in its Old Town District were built prior to 1920. The small city of Villa Park is surrounded by the city of Orange.

These guys are amazing and perform a great teamwork everyday and night across the roads, streets and highways in order to keep a high standard of traffic security.
Everyday, the City need to maintain, replace, or setup new direction arrows and speed limit pavement marks on roads and streets across the city. This is a very complicated task. The safety of the kids, people, pedestrians and traffic has the first priority for each county and city.
Most of the projects starts after midnight or during vacation period so there are less traffic on roads.
Project performed by Superior Pavement Markings on behalf of City of Orange, CA, USA.
For the reflection purpose of the direction arrows and thermoplastic marks like speed limits pavements glass oxide from Potter Industries LLC is applied.

Great job 🤗 🇺🇸

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

They had just redone the interstates in Atlanta Georgia with new reflectors a couple of years ago and then it snowed right after. The plows chipped up every last one of those things and they were littered all over the highway the next day, hunderds of thousands of them. They looked like they could easily become projectiles. They were cleaned up quickly and new reflectors put down on the surface. A waste of taxpayer money to do it that way again. Only a matter of time before they get chipped off again.

[@visionist7]

In Britain they're traditionally metal and solidly embedded in the road rather than applied with adhesive. They also retract when anything passes over them.

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

@@visionist7 The UK is a more advanced country, what can I say? 🤷‍♂

[@michaelmorgan7893]

They have a method of countersinking them, and they use a smaller reflector that has a lower profile for areas prone to ice and snow. In parts of Tennessee and Kentucky, I've seen cast iron plates countersunk into roadway surface, with a smaller reflector attached to that plate. Supposedly, it keeps them in place better, and protects them.

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

@@michaelmorgan7893 i know but down here it doesn't snow enough to warrant the expense of doing that. Or maybe that's the idea since wasting money seems to be the goal down here. GDOT spend over 50 thousand dollars putting RPMs on my road of 100 homes but the road wasn't wide enough so people complained because of the bump bump bump it was impossible to miss them. Then they came back out and scraped them all back up. This was after spending $80k to repaint the lines that were painted by the county a year or two earlier.

[@michaelmorgan7893]

Nowadays, a lot of highways are built with smart lane devices embedded in the surface, (they work with the car's gps device) and the road surfaces have the "jiggle ribs" pressed into the roadway surface that warn of lane departure. A few years ago, a technician for CalTrans had told me the days of the "cats eye" are numbered.

The placing of the yellow/white markers is very haphazard, no real accuracy due to the lorry moving and the man slapping them down, they are not straight in most cases.

@@lostinthedesert-hp4bw is "literally" everywhere? Hey? What? There is nothing "literally" about it. Either it is or it isn't. So which one is it, or can't you make up your mind? And no, it isn't on almost all highways and interstates. You're making the (stupid) assumption that every country in the world does things the way your country does. Some government's prefer to be liars and thieves and will rather steal from their citizens before they do anything to improve their lives or existence.

[@michaelmorgan7893]

The road paint is reflective. When the paint is applied, before it dries, tiny glass beads are injected into the paint, which catch the light and reflect it back. It helps, but when it rains, that wet road surface obscures the lines, you need those raised reflectors to really see the lanes.

[@michaelmorgan7893]

No. We follow universal road regulations set forth by the government. White is safe to cross color. Yellow is cross with caution. Much like our traffic lights. Any other color would not be seen or make sense as red is fire, blue is water.

When it snows you can’t see any of the lines, no matter what color. When the snow melts you can see the white lines just fine.

No they haven't. They are federally required under the MUTCD. A semi truck isn't going to launch them. About the only thing that happens, is snow plows will pop them off. I'm an EMT and also work in public works and I have never heard of any or the reflectors ever becoming a projectile. Once we put them down, they don't come up very easily. Even if one did somehow become a projectile, they aren't heavy enough to penetrate the safety glass of a windshield.

[@ethanlamoureux5306]

Missouri never used them until the 1990s when they started installing them in a few locations, mainly around cities. Apparently there was some federal money involved, because several states started using them around the same time. Then apparently the money ran out, because they all “banned” them for “safety” even tho the purpose of the markers is to increase safety by making it possible to see the lanes in the rain, and to extend visibility of pavement markings to a greater distance. Other states which did the same thing at about the same time include New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Several freak accidents involving markers being torn from deteriorated pavement and launched into passing vehicles were widely promoted in the news, and these cases were used as an excuse by these states who were latecomers to the use of these safety devices to stop using them. One gets the impression that the people in charge of highways in such states as Missouri never wanted to use them and wanted to stop as soon as they could. Another impression you get from driving in these states is that they tend to avoid many innovations long used in other states, even when those innovations increase the safety of the roads. I do not enjoy driving at night in these states. In 1977 Ohio started using snowplow-resistant raised pavement markers, mounted in cast iron snowplow guards that were installed in grooves cut in the pavement. They found that they reduced the accident rate for nighttime drivers enough to justify the expense. So they committed to installing them on every state highway in Ohio. They still use them today. The same kind of markers are used in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and other states which receive as much or more snow than Missouri. States farther south use markers like the ones in this video which are simply glued to the surface of the road, since they don’t normally need to plow the roads. I find it much easier and less fatiguing to drive at night in these states, because of the presence of these markers, and I would really like to see them everywhere.
