A system of retroreflectorized traffic control channelizing devices is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of channelizing devices, each device having a reflective member that is either white, yellow, or red in color. Those having a white reflective member are used to direct traffic from a right side of a traffic lane. Those having a yellow reflective member are used to direct traffic from a left side of a traffic lane. Those having a red reflective member are used to stop traffic for a road closure. A method of use of a system of retroreflectorized traffic control channelizing devices is also disclosed.

A method of manufacturing a reflective strip includes cutting first pieces from an elongated first reflective strip having a first color, the first reflective strip having a first width. Second pieces are cut from an elongated second reflective strip having a second color, the elongated second strip having a second width which may be equal to the first width. The first and second pieces are coupled to a substrate to form a strip of first and second color alternating portions. The substrate is applied to a cross piece of a barrier along a length of the cross piece.

A two-layer retroreflective article construction is enabled that produces higher wide-entrance-angle performance for signs and pavement markings. A single-layer overlay is enabled for existing signs and pavement markers that improve their entrance angle performance. Materials used in the construction of an article or an overlay are transparent to radiation in the range of 400 to 1000 nanometers and utilize TIR (total internal reflection). Minimum performance specifications are proposed that extend sign sheeting retroreflectivity specifications to entrance angles of 60 degrees. An innovative traffic sign design is enabled that increases the positioning performance of safety systems and automated navigation systems.

A traffic control marker is provided and described herein. The traffic control marker can be configured with a main marker body that is flexible and durable, the main marker body can be further configured with a reflective element that covers at least a portion of the main marker body. The main marker body can further be configured with an indentation or a channel that extends a portion of or alternatively the length of the main marker body. The reflective element is configured to be protected during a vehicle impact with the traffic control marker, such that at least a portion of the reflective element remains effective and reflective after the impact.
