Reflective Marker Installation

What This Service Involves

Reflective markers give drivers extra guidance where paint alone washes out in heavy rain and darkness. We install raised or recessed retroreflective markers along lane lines, curves, and channelizing areas to MUTCD spacing. Adhesive and placement are matched to pavement type and expected traffic and plow loads. Markers are especially valuable on unlit rural and arterial roads across Western Washington. The added wet-night delineation reduces lane-departure risk during our long rainy season.

Benefits

Improved wet-night lane delineation; MUTCD-compliant spacing and placement; markers matched to traffic and plow loads; added guidance on unlit roads; reduced lane-departure risk in rain

Our Process

1) Lay out marker locations and spacing; 2) Prepare the pavement and set traffic control; 3) Bond markers with the correct adhesive; 4) Verify reflectivity alignment and open the lane

What Affects the Cost

Number of markers and spacing; raised versus recessed type; pavement prep and adhesive; roadway length and traffic control; snowplow exposure requiring recessed units

Best Time of Year

Dry summer conditions are needed for reliable adhesive bonding before the wet season arrives.
