ABSTRACT:
Roadway traffic control marking tape and reflective sheeting are known in the art for providing temporary delineation and demarcation of traffic lanes in order to guide the flow of traffic through detours, construction areas and the like. Traffic channelizers and barricades are also well known in the art as barriers to discourage crossing the lanes onto the other side thereof. When work on highway lanes is completed, and traffic is redirected to newly opened lanes, the tape is generally removed. When it breaks during removal the job is particularly demanding. Damage to traffic channelizing devices which are hit by fast moving vehicles leads to their frequent replacement. Hence it has become desirable to recycle them. The recycling process requires that the reflective sheet first be removed. But the recycling process too has been hampered by the difficulty of sheet breaking during its removal. Accordingly there is a need for a traffic control marking tape or sheet, as disclosed, which is so improved that it will better resist breaking or delaminating on removal. Herein a tape or sheet is provided which can readily be pulled off of a road surface or a traffic channelizing device without breaking or delaminating.
