Leonard Beratto, supervisor of the Utah Department of Transportation's Sign Shop, modified the design for the delineator posts that mark the roadside. The standard delineator posts have a small reflector button attached to the top of a metal post. Instead of the button, Beratto suggested UDOT try using high intensity reflective paper, the same type used in most highway signs. The new delineator posts are more visible, said Mark Musuris, UDOT Safety Engineer. If the old Bailyoad T&si Get CB 7n cost-savin- posts were bent, the buttom wouldn't reflect the light "The angle of reflectivity is much wider," Musuris said of the new post design. "It could be twisted 45 degrees and still be visible."

The buttons could be broken by a flipped rock, whereas the reflective paper will probably last three to four times longer. That will reflect to UDOT of $11,000 a to $12,000 annually. According to Musuris, the new posts will be put in as replacements when needed. There have already been several installed at various locations throughout the state. ' For his innovation, the Utah Transportation Commission gave Beratto a $750 incentive award and a certificate. Beratto also made a suggestion several years ago to change the structural backing of highway signs. That suggestion also created a considerable savings to the department. the 1 j 5-L- k .u JU-s-- jir - .. - 11 NS..CWM7-83po5- g HBERGIAS SHINGLES 43,000 1980 ft ton, 4x4 short wheel base Silverado 350 Cruise Control Power Windows Power Locks Roll Bar with Lights Chrome Grill Guard 157 V-- 8 automatic Aluminum Wheels Bug Shield Chrome Bed Rails Tilt Wheel S. 200 E. - 722-6- 1 07a SurbczJ JJ lots of odd trusses j? pCL somc. 40'jokgs?& W4XI4-g6- p Mser Milsi gfcCH- - 2X6XHM'i2 V 37?
