Abstract

An elongated elastomeric strip has means along the longitudinal edge for fastening to a receiving element secured in a roadbed. The fastening element comprises at least one set of retaining members, each having a head portion at least in part embedded and bonded securely in the elastomeric strip and a projecting portion depending from the strip. The retaining members are arranged so that the projecting ends of some of them face oppositely to the projecting ends of the others of them, thereby being relatively movable toward and away from each other under deformation of said strip and cooperate to resiliently clamp onto the receiving element. The projecting ends of the retaining members are preferably claw-like.
