What are they?

• Pavement markers function as a safety device on
  most roads. These small, often reflective devices
  are usually placed along the lines that separate
  the lanes of the road. They are made with several
  different materials including ceramic, plastic,
  thermoplastic paint and sometimes even metal.

Why do we need them?

• We see these pavement markers on the road each
  and every day, but do we really know what they
  are for? These markers have a plethora of uses,
  one of which being their reflective quality.
  Because the markers are reflective, it makes it
  much easier for drivers to see the lanes in dark
  areas at night.
