Object Markers

Yes, object markers, delineators, and post panels are all retroreflective. These products come with 3M reflective sheeting that meets or exceeds MUTCD specifications for reflectivity, offering excellent daytime visibility and reflecting brilliantly at night when struck by headlights or flashlights. 3M Hi-Intensity Prismatic signs meet most federal and state reflectivity guidelines, while Diamond Grade reflective signs, the brightest sign material 3M produces, offer three times the reflectivity of Hi-Intensity and ten times the reflectivity of Engineer Grade reflective signs.

Post panels are retroreflective and available in several highly visible color options, some featuring diagonal stripes in two contrasting colors and others plain, including yellow/black, red/white, green/white, blue/white, fluorescent lime green, yellow, red, and silver.

Object markers are available in 80 mil thickness, made of industrial-grade, heavy-duty, rustproof aluminum that does not bend or warp, and both Hi-Intensity and Diamond Grade reflective aluminum object markers share this same 80 mil thickness. Type 2 Object Markers (X-OM2-2H and X-OM2-2V) are also available in a 63 mil Engineer Grade reflective aluminum option in addition to the 80 mil variants. This aluminum gauge is guaranteed to last for 12 years outdoors and easily withstands harsh weather, storms, winds, and abuse.

A right object marker (OM3-R) is a Type 3 object marker with stripes that begin at the upper right side and slope downward to the lower left side, indicating that traffic should pass the obstruction on the right, while a left object marker (OM3-L) has stripes that begin at the upper left side and slope downward to the lower right side, indicating that traffic should pass on the left. The stripes are always sloped downward toward the side traffic is meant to pass on, so the marker visually points drivers around the obstruction rather than just marking its presence.

Yes, non-MUTCD-compliant object markers offer a more affordable option for buyers who don't need full MUTCD compliance, since these smaller markers, such as 8" x 24" sizes, cost less than the 12" x 36" MUTCD-compliant standard and work well for private driveways or other private roads not open to public use.

Fluorescent Diamond Grade reflectivity outperforms both Hi-Intensity and Engineer Grade reflectivity, offering three times the reflectivity of Hi-Intensity Grade signs and ten times the reflectivity of Engineer Grade signs. 3M Diamond Grade Fluorescent signs are 80 mil thick, offer 12+ years of durability, and are seen 75% quicker than conventional aluminum signs, with a high-gloss fluorescent finish that enhances visibility against complex backgrounds or for distracted drivers. Fluorescent object markers appear to glow even in daylight, making them especially conspicuous at dawn and early evening, some of the most dangerous times of day for visibility.

Yes, Chevron alignment symbol signs qualify for bulk quantity discounts, along with all other products, as long as every sign in the order shares the same design, size, material, color, and print.
