Ready Your Road with Pavement Markers

Pavement Markers: Safe, Durable, and Ready for the Road Ahead

As the seasons change and roadwork deadlines approach, one thing remains constant: safety on the road is non-negotiable. Pexco Traffic Safety Solutions continue to set the standard in work zone and pavement marking solutions. From Temporary Overlay Markers (TOMs) to Flexible Chip Seal Markers (TRPMs) and Durable RPM and Halftrack Markers, we provide an unmatched lineup of reflective markers designed for maximum visibility, safety, and performance.

With winter approaching, many road projects come to a halt. It’s the perfect time to place your orders. We keep an inventory of TRPMs, TOMs, and select RPMs and Halftracks, ensuring that contractors and agencies can get what they need quickly, even during peak rushes and the end of project calendars.

Why Pavement Markers are a Necessity

Work zones are among the most hazardous environments on the highway. Each year, many people are injured or fatally struck in work zone–related accidents. In these high-risk areas, visibility is lifesaving. Roadway markings are a driver’s first and most critical line of guidance, especially in low light or wet weather.

Our pavement markers combine innovative design, durable materials, and ease of installation to create safer roads for drivers and workers alike. Whether marking temporary lanes on a new overlay, delineating chip seals, or reinforcing permanent striping, each product line delivers a specialized solution for specific roadway conditions.

Temporary Overlay Markers (TOMs): Bright, Flexible, and Fast to Apply

Temporary Overlay Markers (TOMs) are the go-to solution for newly paved roads and temporary work zones. Designed to offer a continuous ribbon of reflectivity, TOMs ensure that road users can clearly see lane paths day and night, even in heavy rain.

• Superior Performance in All Conditions: One of the biggest challenges with conventional road markings is their tendency to lose reflectivity when wet.  Their raised reflective design keeps them visible above standing water, providing positive guidance in the most challenging weather.
• Quick and Easy Installation: TOMs feature a self-adhesive base for simple “stick-and-go” applications. A single worker can install them in seconds without special tools, dramatically reducing crew exposure to live traffic. They can be placed on both asphalt and concrete, and once the project is complete, removal is just as simple. There is no grinding, no residue, and no expensive cleanup equipment required.
• Durability Meets Cost-Effectiveness: These flexible markers can withstand extended use and, if damaged, are easy to replace. Because TOMs eliminate the need for temporary striping paint or tape, they save both time and money while improving safety.

TRPM® Flexible Chip Seal Markers: The “Stick and Stomp” Workhorse

When it comes to chip and slurry seal projects, Pexco TRPMs are the industry standard for quick, safe, and durable temporary markings. These flexible polyurethane markers feature a highly visible reflective surface that provides clear lane delineation day and night, up to 400 feet away.

• Fast Installation with “Stick and Stomp” Technology: Our factory-applied butyl adhesive pad allows for rapid installation. Simply peel, stick, and stomp. There are no additional tools or drying time needed. This minimizes crew exposure to live traffic and accelerates project timelines. Each TRPM can be installed by a single worker in seconds, making it one of the most cost-effective temporary traffic marking solutions available.
• Rugged Construction for Real-World Conditions: Each TRPM features a tough polyurethane body and comes with one or two protective covers to shield the reflective surface from asphalt spray or slurry materials during application. These covers peel away easily after sealing is complete, revealing bright, undamaged reflectors.
• Versatile for Your Needs: TRPMs are available in standard yellow or white, with single or double covers and multiple staple configurations. For high-temperature chip seals, we offer a high-heat TRPM option specifically engineered to perform under hot-applied, rubberized asphalt conditions.
• Safety and Savings: TRPMs not only improve visibility for drivers but also serve as reference points for crews during re-striping. Their brightness helps reduce the risk of accidents, while their quick installation saves labor and equipment costs.

RPM and Halftrack Markers: Long-Lasting Durability for Work Zones

For projects requiring a more durable and permanent delineation solution, Pexco RPM and Halftrack markers offer the strength and brightness to withstand heavy traffic and harsh conditions.

• High Visibility That Saves Lives: Visibility is crucial in dangerous work zones, especially at night or in poor weather. RPMs and Halftracks feature a catty-corner microprism reflector that’s up to three times brighter than conventional markers. The 4″ x 4″ double-domed RPM creates a rumble effect that alerts drivers when they cross lane boundaries, while the smaller Halftrack (roughly half the size) provides an economical way to enhance painted lines and tape.
• Engineered for Maximum Durability: Unlike hollow designs that can crack under heavy loads, our markers feature solid unibody construction that resists crushing under truck tires. Made from High Impact polymers, they’re built to endure the toughest work zone conditions.
• Superior Adhesion for Long-Term Performance: A reliable bond is critical for both safety and maintenance efficiency. We integrate adhesion into the product design with its exclusive Gripper/Grabber base pattern, doubling the adhesive surface area compared to hollow markers. Compatible with factory-applied butyl pads, epoxy, or hot-melt bitumen, these markers stay put long after installation.

Planning Ahead

Winter may pause roadwork, but safety and planning never stop. To ensure your spring projects start without delay, now is the ideal time to stock up on your next project’s pavement markers. We typically keep a select supply in stock and can help you plan bulk orders into the 2026 project timeline.

Don’t wait for the rush, be sure to secure your TOMs, TRPMs, RPMs, and Halftracks to be ready when the next paving season begins.

Made in the USA, Ready When You Are

Every Pexco pavement marker is manufactured in the USA. This ensures consistent performance, reliability, and availability, which is crucial for contractors managing tight schedules and unpredictable conditions.

At Pexco, we understand that road construction and maintenance often operate on narrow timelines. As winter approaches and paving slows, we want to remind our customers that we maintain an inventory of TRPMs and TOMs, as well as select RPMs and Halftracks. Whether you need TOMs for a quick overlay, TRPMs for a chip seal project, or RPMs and Halftracks for long-term durability, we can check our repertoire of pavement markers to keep your projects moving before winter closures.
