What are the specifications of traffic cones?
A typical
traffic cone is a cone-shaped or cylindrical road sign with fluorescent red, blue, yellow, green and other warning colors. Most of them are made of synthetic resin. In order to increase the visibility of drivers, traffic cones are generally Additional reflective tape strips.
Also, due to the low durability of thermoplastics, there is a possibility of oxidation through long-term use or damage in cold climates. To solve this problem, traffic cones made of ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers have been widely used in cold regions. EVA has good stability, good anti-aging and ozone resistance, and non-toxicity, so the damage rate in cold weather is very low. Some traffic cones are made of elastic materials, which are not easy to break even if they are rolled over, and can automatically return to their original shape.
What do traffic cones do?
Traffic cones are used to temporarily redirect or block traffic, usually for construction or maintenance work. They are often placed in a line to define a lane or to cordon off a section of road, parking lot, or pedestrian walkway. Traffic cones are typically made of plastic and are brightly colored (usually orange or fluorescent yellow) for high visibility.
Traffic cones are used to temporarily redirect traffic or to mark areas for safety purposes, such as for road construction or maintenance, setting up detours, or marking off hazardous areas. They help to create a visible barrier, increase driver awareness and can help to prevent accidents.
What's so special about traffic cones?
Traffic cones have a few special properties that make them useful in various road safety and traffic management applications:
High visibility: Traffic cones are usually brightly colored (typically orange or yellow) and have reflective strips, making them highly visible even in low-light conditions.
Lightweight and easy to move: Traffic cones are lightweight and easy to move, allowing workers to quickly and easily set up or adjust a traffic control zone.
Stackable: Traffic cones are designed to stack on top of each other, making them easy to store and transport.
Durable: Traffic cones are made from tough, weather-resistant materials, such as plastic or rubber, making them resistant to damage from impacts, weather, and UV light.
Versatile: Traffic cones can be used for a wide range of traffic control and safety applications, including marking off construction zones, diverting traffic around obstacles, and marking off pedestrian walkways.
