What "nail" marks lines in private road pavement permanently?

The county marked the right of way because we have some work to do and we
want them to do some of it which they are happy to do within their ROW.

Some of the work we're doing is going to black tar over the currently
painted lines for the right of way.

Before that happens I just want to make a permanent or semi-permanent mark
on the road for the right of way line.

Can I assume "big nails" will do the job?
Or do they work their way up and puncture tires years from now?

Or do they have something special for roads that we can buy at the hardware
store?


Here are some survey nails surveyors use:

I would assume the ridges on the shaft help keep the nail in place once
pounded into the asphalt.

You might ask your county surveyor or road crew for their thoughts (and
maybe a free handful, depending on how many you want to use). Or, why
is the county not installing permanent markers before they cover up what
is visible now?
