These passive devices are being replaced by solar powered LED models.
The edges of some roads are marked by green (nearside) or red (offside) cat's eyes.
I've driven quite a bit in the US but mostly by day, so I don't recall seeing them there.
Are they part of the road fixtures and fittings?
In my defence, it's twelve years since I was there and the memory does tend to fade.

Very rarely do you see these on our roads (I should say, rarely do I see them) When I have they've been yellow reflectors.
Ahh, just read he wiki article. We get a lot of snow here, so the plows would tear them up.
