Configurable highway divider system

A configurable highway divider system, comprising:

• a plurality of markers, spaced apart on a road surface alongside a traffic lane, each marker having a first end which faces traffic travelling in one direction on the lane and a second end which faces traffic in the opposite direction, one of said ends displaying a visual attribute which signifies that it is safe to proceed along said lane, the other end displaying a visual attribute which signifies that it is not safe to proceed along said lane;
• and
• a vehicle-mountable marker changing device which allows a vehicle equipped with said device to interact with each marker on an individual basis and change the visual attributes displayed on the ends of said marker so as to indicate that the flow of traffic has been reversed.

A marker that may be used to change the direction traffic along a highway, comprising:

• a housing having one end which faces traffic in one direction along said highway and a second end which faces traffic in the opposite direction;
• and
• a visual indicator disposed on at least one of said ends, the visual indicator being observable by a vehicle operator to determine the proper direction of travel along said highway, said housing having means disposed therein adapted to receive an externally applied force for changing said indicator to direct traffic from said one direction to said opposite direction.
