Abstract: A pavement road marker is provided mounted to a road having a main shell or body having a top portion. The top portion of the body being generally planar and including a lens mounted thereon. The lens is mounted within the body so that the plane created by the lens is beneath the plane created by the planar surface of the body portion. The assembly further includes an inner cavity having a first surface and a first opening. The first opening is oppositely disposed from the top portion. The first surface of the inner cavity includes various structural elements such as protrusions, legs, or dimples. The protrusions, legs, and dimples increase surface area to improve adhesion of potting to the inner surface of the housing to fill the cavity of the housing. The legs having a lateral surface which extend on a plane normal to an outer surface of the body.

The body includes a flat top, a bottom wall, a pair of angled sides with pockets for the lenses, and a pair of rounded ends. A pocket is disposed on each of the angled sides. The pocket is formed to receive the lens. Each pocket extends from the top to the bottom wall and from one of the pair of rounded ends to the other of the pair of rounded ends. A plurality of vertical exterior ribs which extend beyond the exposed surface of the lens to provide a gap between the lens surface and the tire.
