RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS

Have you ever seen the red side of a reflective raised pavement marker?




If so, it means you are going the wrong way!


RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS
COLOR
MEANING
White
For lane markings or to mark the right pavement edge.
Yellow or Orange
These separate traffic moving in opposite directions, or mark the left pavement edge on one-way roadways.
Blue
Usually place in the center of the roadway to mark the location of fire hydrants on the shoulder or at the curb.
Green
Usually used to indicate that emergency vehicles can open gates to enter a gated community.
Red
Usually indicate areas that are closed to traffic
White and Red
Yellow and Red

White or Yellow for normal use in one direction, and red to indicate “do not enter” or “wrong way” in the other direction.
Red-Clear
Primarily used to warn motorists they are going the wrong way; most people have never seen these because they show clear when approached in the correct direction, and only appear red to wrong-way drivers.
White and Black
White for marking lane restrictions (such as HOV diamond) in one direction on a roadway that has ‘reversible’ traffic flow, and black in the other direction when the markings do not apply.
