ABSTRACT:
A raised pavement marker brace for extension about a raised pavement marker having an upper and side surfaces, comprises a base portion configurated to extend about the marker and to engage the surface of the pavement for securement by adhesive, the wall portion extending upwardly from the base portion to protect at least one side of the marker, and a retaining lip portion extending upwardly from the wall portion and extending over a portion of said upper marker surface. A top portion of the brace may extend over at least a portion of the upper surface of the marker to protect the surface. The brace may extend over a portion of the marker side surface and define an opening about a reflective portion of the marker side surface. The base portion may preferably define a plurality of openings for the extension therethrough of the adhesive during application of the adhesive, thus to provide adhesive portions extending from said openings onto the upper surface of the base portion to provide improved securement of the base portion to the pavement. The adhesive may preferably extend beyond the periphery of the base portion and upwardly from the pavement about a portion of the brace base portion for improved securement against movement of the brace. The brace and the marker preferably define sufficient space between them for the extension upwardly into the space of a ridge of adhesive for improved retention of the brace against movement relative to the pavement.
