  • Patent number: 6835023
    Abstract: A reflective traffic guidance system is disclosed for allowing vehicle drivers easier viewing of forward traffic by use of the reflective sides of the traffic barricade. The system includes a traffic barrier with a front surface, a substrate on the traffic barrier positioned adjacent to the front surface of the traffic barrier, and a reflective surface on the substrate for reflecting incident light in a substantially specular manner and being substantially incapable of reflecting incident light in a retroreflective manner. Optionally, the traffic barrier may comprise a traffic panel that may be placed on or over conventional concrete barriers or guardrails or may be used alone.

  • Publication number: 20020067951
    Abstract: A reflective traffic barrricade for allowing vehicle drivers easier viewing of forward traffic by use of the reflective sides of the traffic barricade. The reflective traffic barrricade includes a blocking member. The blocking member comprises an elongate member having a top side, a front side, a back side, a bottom side, a first end and a second end. The top side has a width less than a width of the bottom side. A reflective means for generally reflecting an image is securely attached to and generally coats the front side and the back side of the elongate member.
