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.)

    In this context, post corresponds to palo or paletto.

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.
