DID YOU KNOW IT?

Traffic cones, also called pylons, witches' hats, road cones, highway cones, safety cones, channelizing devices, construction cones, or just cones, are usually cone-shaped markers that are placed on roads or footpaths to temporarily redirect traffic in a safe manner. They are often used to create separation or merge lanes during road construction projects or automobile accidents, although heavier, more permanent markers or signs are used if the diversion is to stay in place for a long period of time.

Here are some interesting ‘fun facts’ about traffic cones:

• Traffic cones were first invented in the early 1900s.
• The first traffic cones were made from concrete.
• Today, traffic cones are made from plastic.
• Traffic cones are used to redirect both pedestrian and vehicular traffic or to block off areas that are under construction.
• Traffic cones are usually orange or red in colour.
• The height of a traffic cone varies depending on its purpose. For example, cones used to block off an area are usually taller than those used to redirect traffic.-Traffic cones are usually reflective so that they can be seen at night.
