    摘要: A road marker placement system has a frame, a holder mechanically coupled to the frame, a drive system mechanically coupled to the frame, and a rotatable carrier mechanically coupled to the drive system to allow the rotatable carrier to be rotationally driven by the drive system. The rotatable carrier has at least a first pocket formed therein that receives one of the road markers dispensed from an opening of the holder when the rotatable carrier is in a first position. The rotatable carrier is rotated by the drive system from the first position to a second position that is facing the road surface such that the road marker held in the first pocket is forced at least by gravity and by centrifugal force of the rotating rotatable carrier to be ejected from the first pocket onto an adhesive material located on the road surface.

    摘要: A contrast road marking apparatus can apply contrasting thermoplastic markings to a roadway in a single pass. The contrast road marking apparatus includes two or more ribbon guns configured to apply a first thermoplastic marking to a roadway location and a second thermoplastic marking, which comprises a color that contrasts with a color of the first thermoplastic marking, to another roadway location. The resulting contrast road marking has no visible or substantially negligible overlap or gap between the individual thermoplastic markings.
