What are these new roadway reflectors on US 1 in Stuart?

Drivers in Martin County said they’re feeling a little annoyed about roadway reflectors on U.S. Highway 1 in Stuart.

“It’s almost like a beating,” said Dale Grant. “You hear it over and over.”

WPTV’s Tyler Hatfield went in search of answers over what’s driving the new pavement additions.

The reflectors along U.S. 1 in Stuart are in the shape of an arrow.

“It’s very irritating,” said Erika Kvapil from Martin County. “I know they’re pretty new, so a lot of people are stopping and they’re wondering what they’re running over at this point. They’re causing traffic, it’s just really irritating.”

For Dale Grant, it’s a safety reminder that comes at a cost.

“My apartment is right near here,” said Grant. “I hear that day and night and there’s no escaping it.”
