Background description of company and its products:
	John Thomas, Inc. is a manufacturer and distributor of highway safety products such as ADDCO PTS-2000 Portable Traffic Signals and Dura-Curb. We are also a regional distributor of Energy Absorption Systems products in IA, IL, KS, and NE.
Recommended Uses-Primary: Unknown
Recommended Uses-Alternate: Unknown
Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	Dura-Curb is modular and its sections do not interconnect â€“ each section is anchored independently. This design provides tremendous advantages when installers must work around common obstructions, such as drains, junction boxes, etc. Simply space the sections around the obstruction â€“ leave space between modules and work around it! Other separator products must interconnect end-to-end and donâ€™t allow this flexibility! The Dura-Curbâ€™s black HMW/HDPE material is resilient and is not yellow-painted like other separator products. Instead, Dura-Curbâ€™s color Vision-Strips are molded right into the product. When impacted, there is no yellow paint to scuff off, so there\'s no maintenance!
