Abstract: A delineator includes a post having a bottom portion and a stem extending from the bottom portion. At least a portion of the post is moveable in a lateral direction between an at-rest position and an impact position. An anchor includes a top and an elongated receptacle. In one aspect, the stem is removably inserted in the receptacle and is moveable in a longitudinal direction between at least a first position and a second position relative to the receptacle as the flexible post is moved between the at-rest position and the impact position respectively. A first portion of the length of the stem is disposed in the receptacle when the stem is in the first position and a second portion of the length of the stem remains disposed in the receptacle when the stem is in the second position, wherein the first portion is greater than the second portion. Methods of removably retaining a boundary in a pathway and of installing a boundary in a pathway are also provided.

Abstract: A railway crossing guard includes a pivotable crossing gate and a set of retractable barriers on the same side of a set of railroad tracks. The pivotable crossing gate is mounted adjacent a first traffic lane to move between a lowered position and a raised position, and the retractable barriers are mounted in a line oriented parallel to the traffic lanes on a median strip between first and second traffic lanes. These retractable barriers move between a retracted position, in which the retractable barriers are substantially flush with the roadway, and an extended position, in which the retractable barriers are raised above the roadway. In the extended position, the retractable barriers are positioned to block a vehicle in front of the lowered crossing gate from crossing the median strip to drive around the lowered crossing gate.
