When the snow hits and the streets are buried in a blanket of white it is good to know that there is a way for a homeowner to see where there car can meet the garage. Using driveway markers to identify the guides of their concrete or asphalt drive a person that is dealing with a lot of snow can find their way off the street and into the garage safely. Made from the same fiberglass rods that are found on bike flags and field flags the markers that identify the edges of a driveway are a found in all sorts of venues that are helping people to see and notice the flags that let them know where they are.

For a kid that is riding their banana seat retro bike down the road the addition of a specialty flag sets their ride apart from the other riders that out on the road. A fun accessory that is making a comeback the addition of bike flags to a custom set of wheels offers kids the ability to enjoy their bicycle even more. Made from the same fiberglass rods that appear on the front edge of a snow plow there is a demand for consumers all across the country to invest in the high quality durable yet flexible fiberglass rods that are the base for the small flags that mark a number of different places.

Used in the Olympic Games as well as making an appearance on the golf course the small flag poles help to locate the boundaries of an area or deliver the ideal indicator of utility boxes and other important service lines. Easy to spot in a crowd or more importantly when the snows of winter drift and collect to cover up the usually readily visible mailboxes and hydrants that get buried in the midst of a heavy snow storm. When the drifts get high and cover up the landmarks that are sitting underneath the snow it is a lifesaver to have each of the potentially hazardous utilities and boxes marked out with an orange flag that helps a driver to see where they are going.

After spending a couple of years in Minnesota and recognizing the need for the plows and drivers to see where the road may be hiding potential hazards I have come to respect the driveway markers and field flags that put the world back into perspective. Instead of being lost in three to four feet of snow I found it very helpful to be able to quickly identify the sides of the road and steer clear of the dangers that could run a risk to the cars and the utilities that are covered in snow for a majority of the year.
