From diverting traffic in parking lots to adding visibility on the highway, traffic cones are essential traffic safety equipment. Choose orange traffic cones with retroreflective sheeting for roads and construction work or select from assorted colored traffic cones for sports and other recreational uses. Keep reading to learn all about traffic safety cones and their uses.
Traffic cones (also called road cones, pylon cones, safety cones, or construction cones) are used to provide advance warning of safety hazards and redirect traffic. When purchasing traffic cones or other channelizers you should be informed of safety standards in your areas so you meet the appropriate guidelines.
Traditional orange traffic cones have been the safety standard for construction sites and other areas needing traffic control. They typically have reflective sheeting applied to help increase visibility, especially at night.
Orange cones come in a variety of sizes, durability, and reflective materials.
Engineered for durability, heavy-duty traffic cones are constructed from reinforced materials like robust plastic and rubber. Their stable design withstands harsh conditions like high winds and fast traffic areas. Black base traffic cones are best for high-traffic construction zones, managing heavy equipment and vehicle flow.
All-orange economy cones serve as a clear visual warning, indicating the presence of potential safety hazards. Their vibrant color and optional reflective sheeting alerts those nearby to exercise caution. Economy cones effectively communicate the presence of a hazard without breaking the bank.
Blue cones are not approved in all states for construction and road safety so you will want to check with your state before using blue cones in higher traffic areas. They are most often used in parking lots and on private property. They are also used to mark accessible parking areas.
To signify immediate danger and the potential for severe injury or death, OSHA advises the use of red traffic cones. These cones also serve to mark emergency equipment, fire hydrants, and areas with restricted access. Furthermore, they can be employed indoors to delineate pathways for machine traffic.
