It's Plow Stakes Season - Traffic Safety Products

Colder Temperatures and Snowfall Mean it's Time for Snow Stakes

The snow poles come out when the snow falls. Plow markers, or plow stakes, are an integral part of safe winter snow removal on major and minor roadways, as well as in parking lots and along driveways.

A lot of plowing happens during the nighttime, between dusk and dawn, when light levels are extremely low - even more so during weather events. Snow stakes play an important role in winter driving safety by creating a highly visible delineation along the edge of the roads, that is useful not only to plow drivers, but regular drivers as well.

Key Benefits of Snow Plow Stakes

Enhance Visibility
Highly Durable
Delineate Roads / Plowable Areas
Prevent Damage

Snow Marker Stakes Enhance Visibility

Reflective snow markers and fluorescent snow pole options - including high visibility orange snow stakes - are available and really stand out during storms, blizzards and other low light/ low visibility conditions. Round snow posts provide 360 degrees of visibility, allowing drivers to see them from any direction of travel. They greatly improve snow plow operations by helping plow operators to avoid hazards, reducing damage to both vehicles and objects.

Snow Stakes are Highly Durable

Plastic snow plow stakes feature a polycarbonate construction that is far more durable than wood, bamboo or PVC pipe. Specialty polymers and additions provide good cold temperature impact strength and a unique honeycomb design provides greater strength, while keeping snow poles lightweight.

Snow Plow Marking Stakes Delineate Roads and Plowable Areas

Heavy snowfall can obscure the edges of the road and even guardrail in some cases, making bad driving conditions even worse. Snow stakes are both taller and more visible than other visual cues used to find the egde of the road. They can enhnace safety during poor visibility, when used to delineate the edge of the road for plows. Plow stakes also make great guides to map out the edges of parking lots.

Snow Plow Guides Prevent Damage

Plow guides keeps plows from straying outside the boudaries of the area they are supposed to be removing snow from, preventing costly damage to curbs, guardrails, and other fixed objects. Properly plowed roads reduce accidents and lower replacement costs for fixed objects.
