A pelletized road marking composition includes a binder mixture, a filler mixture and bentonite clay. The binder mixture includes at least one alkyd ester, at least one wax, at least one ethylene copolymer, and at least one plasticizer. The filler mixture includes at least one coloring additive, reflective elements, and at least one inert inorganic filler. The components of the road marking composition are mixed and melted and processed into pellets. The bentonite clay added to the composition prevents the pellets from clumping when stored at elevated temperatures.

A traffic calming system is provided that can remain in place on the ground without additional attachment while a vehicle grazes or traverses it. The traffic calming system includes a variety of modular units that can be laid out in any desired pattern as needed to direct a flow of traffic. The modular units can be connected together in an arrangement such as for a roundabout or splitter island. The modular units can be arranged individually as lane markers, such as for a bicycle lane or pedestrian lane, or to outline a roundabout or splitter island.

A pavement marking composition comprises an isocyanate-containing component and an amine-containing component. At least one of the components comprises plasticizer and at least one of the components comprises filler. The composition comprises about 5 wt. % or more plasticizer and is substantially free of polyaspartic ester amines.

The invention relates to pelletizing thermoplastic road marking substance containing light-reflective agents, such as glass beads. A dry formulation of the ingredients is transported to a heating station, where the dry mix is heated to a molten state. The melted mix is extruded into form pockets of a moving conveyor. As the conveyor moves through a cooling station, the molten substance in the form pockets solidifies forming individual pellets. The pellets are then removed from the form pockets, packaged and shipped to customers.
