- they're just 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 4 foot oak sticks with one end pointed to bang into the ground and the other end painted a high visibility colour, usually orange or yellow.
Stores sell fancy plastic ones, some with reflectors, but the stores just put the cheap wooden ones.
These are fancy fiberglass ones- cost too much for kids to yank out and use as light sabres /swords :
same idea as the cheap wooden ones.
I put some plastic ones with reflectors on my driveway to help the newspaper deliverer back back out the driveway and she ran them over. (instead of getting hung up on the stone wall that's so hard to see)
I replaced them with rusty rebar.
For some reason she sees those.
Must look like they could do some damage. :-)

edit: sometimes Lowes and Home Depot sell them as tree stakes in the Summer - same sticks, just no paint on the tips.
