In some embodiments, a directional surface marking may provide directional messaging to users based on their direction of travel on a base surface, such as a roadway, walkway, or interior flooring, as non-limiting examples. In some aspects, the directional messaging may comprise different colors, text, or symbols, wherein a user may view different directional messaging on a directional surface marking dependent on direction of travel. In some embodiments, directional surface markings may comprise a profile layer, wherein the profile layer may comprise a plurality of profiles, which may provide a topography that allows for directional messaging utilizing surface colors on the topography.

A road marker placement apparatus has a dispenser for dispensing a road marker, a carriage for carrying the road marker dispensed by the dispenser, and a drive arrangement for driving the carriage from a collecting position. At the collecting position, the carriage can collect the road marker from the dispenser. The carriage can place the road marker on the road while being driven by the drive arrangement.

A vision traffic marker network system comprises a plurality of vision traffic markers or traffic nodes configured to capture information such as an event, an environment, a profile, or a condition of an object such as vehicle, human, combination thereof, or the like, for example. The environment information may be time of day, day of week, weather, traffic condition, and the like. The nodes may be one of a traffic node, an ambient node, a repeater, a gateway, or a combination thereof. These nodes are arranged in network neighborhoods and configured to communicate with at least one of the communication networks with at least one of the vision traffic markers or nodes, a control system, the automotive, a server, a global navigation system, other non-vision devices, traffic lights, street lights, electronic devices, or combination thereof, via one more links, either wirelessly or wired communication. The vision traffic marker network system analysis, process, distribute, and report the information to any vision traffic marker network system, client machines, and a server over a network.

This invention relates to a selective tire-impairment device attachable to a roadway surface. The device can include a lateral surface having a piercing element. The piercing element can be oriented downward to selectively impair a sidewall of a tire traveling laterally without affecting a tire traveling in a typical forward direction. The piercing element can severely damage a tire of a vehicle performing a stunt, commonly referred to as a doughnut, due to the lateral direction of travel of a tire during the stunt.

A driveway reflector holder and installation tool assembly includes a reflector holder and an installation tool removably receivable in the reflector holder. The reflector holder includes a hollow sleeve body, a washer disposed on an upper end of the hollow sleeve body, and at least one retention feature disposed on the hollow sleeve body. The installation tool includes an elongated body, a head, and a tapered tip. The installation tool is configured to extend through the hollow sleeve body of the reflector holder with the head being positioned above the upper end of the hollow sleeve body and the tapered tip being positioned below the lower end of the hollow sleeve body. The installation tool is configured to be driven to insert the at least one reflector holder into a ground surface and then be removed from the at least one reflector holder.
