TAMPA, Fla. â The Florida Department of Transportation is now considering using Internally Illuminated Reflective Pavement Markers (IIRPMs) as an additional countermeasure to deter wrong-way drivers from entering freeway off-ramps. This is in addition to the flashing signs that are already used.
FDOT recently approved the in-pavement solar lights as a product they can use. The state already used them at crosswalks, including the location along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Gomez Road, near St. Joseph s Hospital in Tampa.
