.~.~ Mounted on or adjacent roadway
DEFINITION
Classification: 359/547
Mounted on or adjacent roadway:
(under subclass 546) Subject matter wherein the unitary mass is positioned either on or off of the roadway surface within viewing distance of the driver of a vehicle in order to enable an easier view of that portion of the roadway or the edge of the roadway.
(1) Note. A reflector sign, having discrete reflecting elements, permanently fastened to a road surface would belong in this subclass but the same reflector counterbalanced within a recess in the roadway - ordinarily up and visible but capable of retraction into the recess when contacted by the vehicle wheel is classified in Class 404.
