What are driveway markers?
Driveway markers are reflective strips that are inserted into the ground to help drivers locate property lines or lanes. Lane markings are used to mark driveways, curbs, sidewalks, streets, and parking lots for snow removal. They also prevent people from driving on curbs or lawns. Markers are visible from all angles – even at night and in bad weather conditions.
Benefits of Driveway Markers:
- Help with snow removal: Snow removal experts use driveway markings to protect their expensive equipment from damage. Even seasoned contractors occasionally use lane markings. Orange snow stakes are so popular that most snow removal experts prefer orange because it is associated with safety around the world.
- Easy access to lanes: Driveway markers create a visual cue on the ground to let you know where the edge of the lane is. They form a visual signal that makes it easy to drive the car in and out of your lane.
- Use for different applications: Driveway markers are not just for driveways, they can also be used as reflective road signs, agricultural markers, tree stakes, and snow stakes. High-quality driveway signs are not prone to rust, deterioration, or degradation. You can reuse them for many years because they require very little maintenance.
- Durability: Driveway markers made of fiberglass are highly resistant to UV rays and corrosion, and are specially designed to withstand moisture, different weather elements, and even chemicals. These driveway markers can be reused time and time to reduce costs and minimize environmental impact.
Types of driveway markers
Reflective
Reflective driveway markers are usually placed along the edges of the lane. They make it easy to see your driveway clearly at night. Snow removal operators obey lane markings to remove snow for added safety. When you drive the car at night, they reflect backup lights to let you see the edge of the driveway. Most reflective driveway markings are made of fiberglass or pultruded fiberglass, which is stronger and more resistant to weather elements.
Non-reflective
Non-reflective driveway markers do not reflect any light. They are simpler in design than reflective driveway markers. They are just some wood plant stakes that look similar to those used in some gardens. But the fact that they don’t reflect light is sometimes a good thing. They’re less visible from the curb and ideal for homeowners who don’t want their driveway markers to stand out. They can also be used to mark roadsides, driveways, and parking lots for snow removal.
