Channelizer markers shall have two yellow reflective lenses on each side that face traffic with a minimum size of 0.5-inch by 3.75-inch (12.5mm by 95mm) for each lens that shall provide reflectance from approaching headlights. The channelizer markers shall be made of yellow plastic with nominal dimensions of 2.5-inch height by 7.5-inch depth by 13-inch width (60mm by 190mm by 330mm).
