Abstract

A road-surface mountable delineator support member constructed of resilient wall structure of flexible material whose structure is capable of maintaining an attached delineator in upright, operational orientation as a traffic guide and capable of surviving repeated vehicle impacts. The wall structure is sectionally comprised of an integrally formed neck, shoulder and larger collapsible body in which most of the vehicle impact forces are transferred to the larger collapsible body section which deforms in preference to deformation of an attached delineator structure. The support base can be adhesively attached to a road surface and can be adapted for attachment of tubular delineator structures with various reflective format.
