In Texas, blue reflectors on the road indicate the locations of fire hydrants. These reflectors are placed along the roadside to help emergency responders quickly locate fire hydrants during emergencies, particularly in low visibility conditions. The blue color is specifically designated to ensure that they are easily identifiable among other road markings and reflectors.
Some names for specific types of raised pavement markers include Botts' dots, delineators, cat's eyes, road studs, or road turtles. Sometimes they are simply referred to as reflectors.

Street reflectors enhance road safety by improving visibility, especially at night or during low-light conditions. They guide motorists by marking lane boundaries, intersections, and hazards, helping drivers maintain proper alignment on the road. Reflectors also aid in reducing accidents by making road signs and other important features more noticeable. Overall, they contribute to safer driving experiences by providing clear visual cues.

The standard distance between cat's eyes on a road, often referred to as "cat's eye reflectors," is typically about 1 meter (3.3 feet) apart. This spacing helps improve visibility for drivers at night and in low-light conditions. The reflectors are designed to reflect headlights back towards the driver, enhancing safety on the road.
