Would reflector posts work for you? Good reflectors would be very
visible, cost less, and require less maintenance than lighted markers.

your reversing lamps work and the snow is not _too_ high, these will be
visible.

To make them directional, paint the side you don't want visible.

HTH,
Donald.

Ideally I'd have something like this; double ideally they'd be directional so they were only visible to someone backing down the driveway. And they'd need to be somewhat stout to deal with weather, errant feet, etc., but I think that's mostly an installation issue. Have any of you done anything like this?
