ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of illuminating bridge and road guard rails. The outside of the rails are coated with a reflective material and then co-extruded with an acrylic material surrounding the rail. Alternatively, two or more acrylic materials or tubes are extruded around a rail. The inner tube preferably has a colored shiny or reflective covering, or stripes of one or more colors, or with a picture or design on the outside or within the tube. In a further embodiment, the rails can be retrofitted with a two-section acrylic covering that fits together along and surrounds the length of the rail. The acrylic coverings can also be joined via a collar that is also made in two halves to fit around the rail at each rail post or at each end of the rail section.
