A reflective and directional water permeable paver system, which has a plurality of connection cells and is configured to support traffic, includes a marker insert. The marker insert has a continuous body wall with at least one tensioning marker rib extending from the continuous body wall. The marker insert has an insert head. The insert head diameter extending beyond the continuous body wall of the marker insert. The marker insert body diameter is substantially equal to the inner wall diameter of at least one of the connection cells. The insert head has a prismatic inner surface composed of an array of mirrored polygonal shapes providing at least three different reflective light vectors. The insert head has a translucent top surface covering the prismatic inner surface enabling light to penetrate to the inner surface and reflect outwardly from the insert head.

1. A reflective and directional water permeable paver system forming a load bearing traffic surface comprising: a. a plurality of reconfigurable one piece water permeable pavers, wherein each reconfigurable one piece water permeable paver is connected on opposite sides to two reconfigurable one piece water permeable pavers, each reconfigurable one piece water permeable paver comprising: (i) a plurality of inner single flex joint connection cells; a plurality of inner dual flex joint connection cells; and a plurality of inner four connection cells;(ii) a plurality of outer three connection cells, a plurality of outer two connection cells, and outer flex joint connection cells, with spaces formed between cells, the connection cells and spaces configured to contain the fill material; and(iii) a plurality of locking tabs, at least one extending from an outer surface of a series of outer connection cells and a plurality of fastening slots formed partially through an outer surface of a corresponding series of outer connection cells configured for engaging one of the plurality of locking tabs; wherein the plurality of locking tabs for each permeable paver engages the plurality of fastening slots of an additional permeable paver, each reconfigurable one piece water permeable paver further configured to form a traffic surface for supporting a load;b. a plurality of marker inserts each marker insert disposed in at least one of the outer two connection cells, outer three connection cells, outer flex joint connection cells, inner single flex joint connection cells, inner dual flex joint connection cells, and inner four connection cells, and combinations thereof, each marker insert comprising: (i) a continuous body wall with a body diameter;(ii) a plurality of tensioning marker ribs extending from the continuous body wall; and(iii) an insert head with an insert head diameter extending beyond the continuous body wall, wherein the body diameter is substantially equal to an inner wall diameter of at least one of the plurality of connection cells. 2. The paver system of claim 1 wherein the marker insert comprises a flexible locking dog extending from the continuous body wall wherein the flexible locking dog is configured to flex inward into or under an inner wall of an at least one of the plurality of inner connection cells or outer connection cells when the marker insert comes into approximate contact with respective permeable bottom portions of each connection cell. 3. The paver system of claim 2, comprising a plurality of clearance recesses formed in the continuous body wall, wherein the plurality of clearance recesses have different dimensions. 4. The paver system of claim 2 comprising a receiving slot configured for removably locking the marker insert into at least one of the plurality of inner connection cells or outer connection cells. 5. The paver system of claim 1, comprising a paver plate mounted to a portion of the reconfigurable one piece water permeable pavers, wherein the paver plate is substantially planar, and wherein the paver plate is made of a recycled plastic. 6. The paver system of claim 5, wherein locking tabs for each respective outer connection cell is formed integral to the respective outer wall between a bottom of the paver plate and a top of the paver plate. 7. The paver system of claim 6, wherein the fastening slots for each respective outer connection cell are cut from the bottom of the paver extending partially towards the top, each fastening slot configured for receiving a marker insert. 8. The paver system of claim 1, each locking tab comprising: a. a shaft extending outward from one of the outer walls, the shaft being configured to fit within a corresponding fastening slot of a second paver; andb. a head extending outward from the shaft at an angle and formed integral with the shaft. 9. The paver system of claim 8, wherein each head of the locking tab comprises a planar outer load surface and a rounded inner load support surface, wherein the rounded inner load support surface is configured to smoothly engage a corresponding rounded inner surface of a second paver outer wall of the second paver, the second paver outer wall having the corresponding fastening slot formed therein. 10. The paver system of claim 1, comprising a locating slot through an outer surface of the body wall of the marker insert configured to engage a locating rib formed on an inner wall of one of the connection cells. 11. The paver system of claim 1, comprising a parking marker in at least one of the connection cells. 12. The paver system of claim 1, wherein the insert head is a one piece unit comprising: a. a prismatic inner surface comprising an array of mirrored polygonal shapes; andb. a translucent top surface covering the prismatic inner surface enabling light to penetrate to the inner surface and reflect outwardly from the insert head. 13. The paver system of claim 11, wherein the mirrored polygonal shapes provide at least three different reflective light vectors, the mirrored polygonal shapes (up to 30 vectors). 14. The paver system of claim 12, wherein each insert head comprises a water repellant plastic capable of resisting loads of over 3000 pounds per square inch without deforming and sustaining temperatures ranging from −50 degrees Fahrenheit to 180 degrees Fahrenheit without cracking or fracturing. 15. The paver system of claim 11, wherein the insert head diameter is from 1 to 15% larger than the body diameter of the continuous body wall. 16. The paver system of claim 11, comprising a plurality of head reinforcing beams mounted to the insert head opposite the translucent top surface and between the continuous body walls, each head reinforcing beam comprising at least one of: an identical hardened plastic or a material with ability to re-enforce impact resistance of the insert head. 17. The paver system of claim 11, wherein the insert head comprises a shape selected from the group: a dome shape, an arced rectangle, an arced square, or an arced polygon. 18. A load bearing traffic surface comprising the paver system of claim 1.
