ASTM D4280-03

Standard Specification for Extended Life Type, Nonplowable, Raised Retroreflective Pavement Markers

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers nonplowable, retroreflective raised pavement markers for nighttime lane marking and delineation.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 9, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
