Reflectorized Sleeves for Barrel Delineators
Status: In progress
Description: The drum sleeves wrap around a conventional drum. The color scheme is retroreflective material with 6" bands of green, orange, white and green working from the bottom to the top.
The intended use of the sleeves is to better delineate exit ramps where construction activities have required changing the ramp entrance, the shoulder is protected by drums on both the ramp and the mainline, and drivers may have difficulty discerning which two drums constitute the mouth of the ramp. The sleeves may have other useful applications, such as highlighting a lane drop, but only the application described above will be considered in this evaluation.
