The North Luzon Expressway's raised plastic transverse rumble strips approaching Balintawak Toll Barrier, Philippines. Rumble strips (also known as sleeper lines or alert strips) are a traffic calming feature to alert inattentive drivers of potential danger, by causing a tactile fuzzy vibration and audible rumbling transmitted through the wheels into the vehicle interior.
Using milling instead of other methods, such as rolling them in, means that the rumble strips can be added at any time after the road surface has hardened. [ 8 ] Another example is to modify the roto-milling head to create slots in concrete slabs for the dowel bar retrofit process.
A rumble strip can be a series of simple troughs, typically 1 cm (0.4 in) deep and 10 cm (4 in) wide, that is ground out of the asphalt. Other alternatives, similar to the Botts' dots, use raised strips, painted or glued to the surface. A specific form of raised strips using thermoplastic is called profile thermoplastic markings.

Unlike their smaller cousins, delineators are tall enough to impact not only a vehicle's tires but the vehicle body itself. They usually contain one or more retroreflective strips. They can be round and open in the center or curved (45-degree sections) of plastic with a reflective strip. They are also used in low reflective markers in a "T" shape.
