Road reflectors
Question:
In some states in the US you'll see these neat little refectors embeded in the road. At night they are quite easy to see and don't fade like the lines in the road do. Also, if you veer out of your lane the bumps will give you feedback through your ears. Since these things are so great why doesn't every state have them?
Hints:
Although these reflectors are great they only work in places where it doesn't snow. Once the snowplow goes by, it'll yank them out of the road or at least damage them, possibly damaging the snowplow as well.

Hints:
- Canada doesn't have them.
- The northern states don't have them.
- Places where it snows usually don't have them.

I have seen some roads around the Yosemite national park that have these reflectors although its often snowing there. They deepened feet-long grooves in the middle of the road and put the reflectors down there so that they dont stick out.
Just painting lines is so much easier to do and way cheaper...
