Abstract
A pavement marker is disclosed that includes a base member, two opposite resilient members and an upright member, wherein the upright member has an ends that extend laterally from a central section and are received into the opposite resilient members and wherein the base member is substantially planar with side rails, extends under the upright member and is adapted to receive and retain the resilient members. The resilient members hold the upright member in an upright position and allow for rotation of said upright member in response to a force applied to the upright member wherein the central section of the upright member includes a reflective surface.
