Engineering grade (Type I) - The most economical choice and is best suited for parking lots and low volume roads
High Intensity Prismatic (Type IV) - The best value based on reflective performance, durability, and price
Diamond Grade Prismatic (Type IX) - The best choice for superior reflectivity and public roadway usage.
