Driveway markers are an essential tool for many — both homeowners and businesses — when the snow falls. They help keep driveways, curbs, and a variety of other things visible during the winter months. While you may have noticed that driveway markers come in many different colors, have you ever wondered why there are different color driveway markers?
Driveway markers serve multiple purposes, with visibility and safety being the most critical. They help both drivers and snowplow operators identify where driveways are. This helps to prevent damage to lawns, landscapes, and even the markers themselves. They also make it easy for homeowners to find their driveways during heavy snowfall. This helps prevent accidents and provides a clear path for cars.
At Discount Snow Stakes, we have up to eleven different colors options, including a variety of reflective tape colors. These include orange, yellow, red, green, blue, black, and pink.
The Colors of Driveway Markers
- Orange is the most popular color. This is because it’s highly visible and easily stands out against snow. It’s an ideal choice for areas with heavy snowfall. It’s also a safety orange — the universally recognized color of caution and safety.
- Yellow is also a highly visible color. Yellow is a great color for a snow stake if you’re looking for something that will stand out. It’s not as popular as the orange, so not as many people are using it, but it will still show up against the snowy backdrop.
- Green is used for areas for it can blend in with grassy landscapes. The driveway markers won’t be intrusive on the property, but will still stand out when the snow falls.
- Blue is used mostly to mark areas where there’s water, like a catch basin or drainage. The color can code a property so the plow truck drivers know what’s hidden behind the snow.
- Pink is a color we added to help show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness. It’s also a good color to use when matching company colors.
