Designed to direct traffic, a traffic cone is a simple device that can be stacked easily and can be moved to and from different locations. These cones come in a variety of different colors, and are usually used to denote dangerous conditions, such as an area with a hazard, or a dangerous road.
Traffic cones are typically used outdoors, but can also be used indoors. They are made of flexible polymer. Some cones are also manufactured with reflective tape around the body. These are designed to increase visibility during low light conditions. These cones are available in different sizes to meet different needs.
Some cones are also designed to withstand heavy traffic. The cones can be manufactured with a wide body, so that they are easy to stack and maintain an upright position. This makes them very stable on the road, especially in higher winds. Some cones are also made with flexible rubber bases. These bases help the cones maintain an upright position, especially in heavy rain.
Cones can also be made of biodegradable paper. This is ideal for limiting school playgrounds, parking lots, and other areas. This material is odor-free and non-toxic, so it will not harm the environment.
Traffic cones are available in several different colors, including safety orange, blue, and yellow. Blue cones are often used in parking lots, but not on highways. Orange cones are commonly used in construction sites, as they signify a possible safety hazard.
