What would you call "reflector post" in Italian? It is a thing made of plastic material that can be found next to roads every given distance.

Suggestion: posta riflettore.

Thank you.

  • Your “suggestions” are not always terribly useful... :-) (“Posta riflettore” doesn't mean anything, but if it did, it would seem something like “spotlight mail”, whatever that might be.) – DaG Nov 19 '16 at 18:36

    In this context, post corresponds to palo or paletto. – egreg Nov 20 '16 at 10:39

    There is also the term "paracarro" https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracarro. – CasaMich Nov 20 '16 at 15:25

The technical term is "delineatori di margine", but that's quite obscure even for an Italian, unless they are traffic code expert. Personally I would call them "paletti catarifrangenti" in everyday speech.
