The Model 953 Reflective Pavement Marker provides longer life in heavy traffic locations, with higher reflectivity and exceptional structural integrity. Any damage and resulting dirt or water are contained within the cell impact area, leaving other reflective cells fully functional. Because each cube corner reflector is supported on three sides by a cell wall, structural integrity is superior to larger-sized cells. A tough layer of untempered glass protects the Model 953 acrylic lens from abrasion and allows it to self-clean with every tire contact. Independent road tests prove Stimsonite's patented glass-faced markers retain their reflective value longer than unglassed markers.
Markers stay brighter longer and are replaced less often, reducing maintenance costs.
Improved Housing Design A weather-resistant polymer blend housing is filled with an inert potting compound that adds strength from the inside out. This increased durability provides greater resistance to damage by traffic and to breakage due to spot loading from uneven road surfaces. The low, contoured profile and smaller impact area reduce the battering effects of repeated tire impact. Radial tires can wrap around the marker, putting more of the vehicle's weight on the pavement and less on the marker. The sanded base of the Model 953 also features linear guides for installation alignment and long-term adhesion.
