A vehicle may comprise an actuator system. The actuator system may comprise an indicia portion (e.g., a retroreflector, etc.), a masking element that exposes the indicia portion in a first state and covers the indicia portion in a second state, and a linkage coupling the masking element to an actuator. In the case of a bidirectional vehicle, operation of the actuator may be based at least in part on a determination of the vehicle changing a direction of travel. The actuator system may cause a first set of one or more actuator systems disposed on a first end of the vehicle to transition from a first state to a second state and/or cause a second set of one or more actuator systems disposed on a second end opposite the first end of the vehicle to transition from the second state to the first state.
