Got behind some big rigs hauling side dumps yesterday and noticed one of them had these yellow plastic looking strips that looked to be attached to the lug nuts and stuck out past the rim of the tire.  I've been seeing them for a while, what are those things for?

From http://www.skiddd.com/about.php:

SKIDDD Wheel Indicators was born with a vision for safety for drivers of large semi-trailers and turn pikes. Tires occasionally lock due to mechanical and brakepot failure, air valve and line complications, freeze ups, or drivers forgetting to release the spike brake. Regardless of the cause, the SKIDDD Wheel Indicator allows the driver to determine whether or not a tire is rotating. The SKIDDD Indicator allows the driver to spot the locked tire and resolve the issue before any permanent damage or accident occurs.
