Durable, lightweight thermoplastic road studs that provide highly effective, long-life visibility, particularly at night and in wet weather. Road studs can be applied to asphalt and concrete road surfaces in non-snowplow regions. The markers are impact resistant and increase awareness with an added rumble effect. 3M road studs are made with 3M™ Diamond Grade™ prismatic optics for maximum reflectivity.

    Day and night

    3M™ Raised Pavement Markers have a special protective hard coat that resists scuff marks, scratches and roadway elements such as dust, sand and tire contact. This allows the markers to maintain much of their shape and color, to remain visible in the daylight and beyond.

    Rain or shine

    3M™ Raised Pavement Markers continue reflecting light back to the driver even when completely submerged under water, thanks to wet retroreflectivity, enhancing safety during inclement weather conditions.
