Delineator Type 2 / 3 (Surface Mounted)

Trusted by safety professionals and road builders for years, the ETEP Delineators are mounted on the top of guard rails or New Jersey barriers. These reflectors are often mounted on the top of barrier walls or guard rails to improve the visibility and directionality of traffic.

Surface-mounted delineator posts are flexible traffic safety devices installed on road surfaces to guide, warn, or separate vehicles and pedestrians. These posts are used in various traffic management applications and are particularly valued for their visibility, durability, and ease of installation. Here’s a detailed explanation:

Features of Surface-Mounted Delineator Posts:

• Material:
  • Typically made from durable, flexible materials like polyethylene or polyurethane, which can withstand repeated impacts without breaking.
  • The flexibility allows the post to return to its upright position after being struck.
• Reflective Strips:
  • Equipped with reflective bands or panels to enhance visibility, especially in low-light conditions or at night.
• Base:
  • The base is designed to be mounted directly onto road surfaces using adhesives, bolts, or anchors for stability.
• Height:
  • Available in various heights to suit specific applications and visibility requirements.

Applications:

1. Traffic Guidance:
   • Used to mark lanes, curves, or medians to keep vehicles within designated paths.
2. Pedestrian Safety:
   • Installed near crosswalks or sidewalks to separate pedestrian areas from vehicular traffic.
3. Construction Zones:
   • Commonly used in construction or work zones to direct traffic and protect workers.
4. Parking Areas:
   • Helps define parking spaces or restrict access to certain areas.
5. Cycle Lanes:
   • Used to separate cycling lanes from vehicular traffic.

Benefits:

• Durability:
  • Resists weather conditions, UV radiation, and frequent impacts.
• Easy Installation:
  • Simple to install and replace as needed without requiring extensive groundwork.
• Cost-Effective:
  • A relatively inexpensive solution for improving road safety.
• Portability:
  • Some models are portable, allowing temporary installations for events or construction work.

Surface-mounted delineator posts play a crucial role in improving road safety, guiding traffic efficiently, and reducing accidents in high-risk areas.
