Abstract

A traffic control marker includes an elongate flexible arrow member arranged for positioning upon a road surface to direct traffic flow therethrough. The marker provides for a removable forward head relative to the marker for use of the arrow head relative to the marker. A modification of the invention includes suction cup members molded into the bottom wall of the marker body and arrow head, as well as reflector housings mounting reflective lenses projecting rearwardly of the marker head, with a further organization to include the reflector housing positioned medially of speed-bump type boss members that in conjunction with the reflector housing are orthogonally oriented relative to the side walls of the body as a one-piece assembly.
