Delineators are particularly effective in the case of complex locations involving changes in horizontal/vertical geometry, and during severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog or snow. Normally, reflectors are used on the delineators for better night time visibility. 1.2 In a broad sense, “delineation” stands for any device or treatment whose aim is to outline the roadway or a portion thereof. This could include painted lines, raised pavement markers, posts, post-mounted reflectors or contrast treatments of the pavement. Delineation by pavement markings is covered by IRC:35, “Code of Practice for Road Markings”. This code deals only with post type retro reflective delineators or embedded on any concrete structures/trees Delineators are classified under three types: (i) Roadway Indicators (ii) Median Markers (iii) Hazard Markers, and (iv) Object Markers 2.2 Each of these serves a somewhat different purpose. “Roadway indicators” are intended to delineate the edges of the roadway to guide drivers about the alignment ahead, particularly where it might be confusing for some reason. The objective of “hazard markers” is to define obstructions like guard-rails and abutments adjacent to the carriageway, for instance at culverts and bridges which are narrower than the roadway width at approaches. “Object markers” are used to indicate hazards and obstructions within the vehicle flow path, for example channelizing islands close to the intersections, roundabouts at the intersections or electric poles or trees located within the Right of Way (RoW). 2.3 At the same time, it is to be borne in mind that the delineators are basically driving aids and should not be regarded as a substitute for warning signs, road markings, or barriers for out-of-control vehicles Roadway indicators are popularly called as Delineators or Guide Poles. It is basically a form of guide posts made of Mild steel with pure polyester powder coating with the minimum thickness of powder coating of not less than 40 micron for protection against corrosion. The surface should be concealed so that there should not be any exposed surface without powder coating. Alternatively, these metal guide poles can be concealed with thermoplastic body which is of course somewhat cost prohibitive. The posts shall have an ellipsoidal or circular design with the height of the pole shall be 800 to 900 mm above the ground with about 200 to 300 mm base which can be anchored onto the ground. Mild steel Guide Poles shall conform to Type XI sheeting specifications as per IRC:67 and ASTM D 4956 which would ensure to obtain clear visibility of the road alignment during night time ( As a general rule, roadway indictors should be erected at the edge of the usable shoulder and in the case of kerbed sections at a distance of 0.6 m from the kerb face. On hilly terrains, they may be placed either on the parapet or at the edge of the earthen shoulder depending on the available roadway width and Right of Way (RoW) Flexible Median Marker (FMM) should be used for improving median visibility during dark hours. Use of Median Marker provides safety against collision happening with medians during night time or severe weather. Flexible Median Markers shall be provided with fluorescent yellow colour retro reflective sheeting Type XI as per IRC:67. Flexible Median Marker shall be of tough, high impact resistant, injection-molded, thermoplastic body with property of flexibility to provide high durability and U shape structure having rebound/bounce back property The following designs shall be adopted for hazard markers: The striped markers consisting of alternating black and yellow stripes sloping downward at an angle of 45° towards the side of the obstruction on which the traffic is to pass (see Fig. 9). Hazard marker to be made with Type XI sheeting conforming to These OHM should be erected immediately ahead of the line of obstruction, for instance on a narrow bridge just where the bridge rail starts. When placed in conjunction with the guard-rail on a bridge approach, the OHM should be located immediately behind the guard-rail and at sufficient height to ensure that these will be properly visible to the oncoming traffic. The inside edge of the OHM should be in line with the inner edge of the obstruction as far as possible This Aluminum-backed flexible prismatic sheeting shall be made of yellow colored flexible prismatic sheeting with non-metallic prismatic lens formed in a transparent, synthetic resin as retro reflective elements. This flexible prismatic sheeting shall have black and yellow stripes with aluminum backed flexible prismatic.
