At community events we are often asked about the lights at the entrance of a driveway. The lights are often green or blue. These lights are helpful when returning home at night and you need to see where the driveway is. They are called ‘outdoor stud road safety markers’. The ones we’ve seen are solar-powered, charging during the day and coming on automatically at night. Best to get the heavy-duty ones that are designed to be strong and shock-resistant – meaning trucks can run over them without doing any damage. There is no rule covering them. However, we suggest you don’t choose blue, because that colour has been used in the past to indicate fire hydrants, or is used by the police.

For those who are interested, we’ve included a link of a typical product on our ‘HOMES’ page.
