ABSTRACT:
A reflective road stud comprises a hollow plastics body, a reflector support integral with the body and extending above the body, and a reflector supported by the reflector support. The support is movable into or towards the body upon receiving an impact from at least one of two opposite sides of the road stud. The reflector support includes two ramp surfaces on said at least one side of the road stud, the ramp surfaces extending in a direction substantially parallel to the in use direction of traffic flow. Wiper means may be provided for cleaning the reflector when the reflector is moved into or towards the body. The hollow body contains compressible, non-water absorbent means to prevent ice build up which may otherwise resist or prevent movement of the reflector support into or towards the body.
