Type Of Highway Cones
The market can be divided into different types, mainly including PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PE (polyethylene), and other materials. PVC highway cones are recognized for their sturdiness and ability to withstand challenging environmental conditions, making them the first choice for long-term applications.
PE highway cones provide a lightweight and cost-effective alternative, ideal for short-term use. Other categories include various innovative materials such as recycled and biodegradable materials, which are carefully designed to enhance sustainability and performance in line with the industry's changing requirements and environmental considerations.
Application Of Highway Cones
The most common situation is in terrible weather. If you find cones on the highway side, these may be used for emergencies, you should be alert. And this place may often have traffic accidents, or there may be frequent accumulation of water or ice, even some landslides etc.
The other situation is road repair. It is impossible for a highway road to remain intact after repair. A lane may become sunken or collapsed. When road repair occurs on the highway, road maintenance personnel generally start to set cones 150 meters in advance. The cones are set up slowly from a diagonal line, starting with a wider width and slowly tilting. When you close to the front, you will find that one lane is missing. So it is recommended that you have to slow down when you encounter such diagonal cones on the highway to avoid losing control.
The third situation is that the cones are not placed in a diagonal line, but in a straight line on the roadside. This may be because the construction of this place has just been completed, or it was under construction some time ago, and the cones have not been removed in time. In this case, there may still be things ahead that affect driving safety. It is recommended that you brake lightly and pass through this area slowly.
So when driving on the highway and seeing cones on the side, you must be vigilant, slow down appropriately, alert the vehicles behind you, and be prepared for possible adverse situations ahead.
North America’s Demands Of Highway Cones
In North America, the highway cones market share remained stable due to strict safety regulations and continuous demand for road maintenance and construction. The popularity of innovative materials and the adoption of smart cones are more significant in the region.
Regulations Of Highway Cones
In the United States,highway cones must include reflective collars or tapes and also the minimum height is 28 inches and weight must be 10 lb. So, the 36 inch traffic cones also are used in highways and freeways.
The earliest highway cones can be traced back to the concrete cones made by Charles P. Rudebaker in 1914. In modern times, traffic cones are made of thermoplastic or rubber with bright warning colors to facilitate road users or drivers to observe from a distance. Recycled polyvinyl chloride can also be used to make highway cones to reduce accidents rate. The common size on highways is 700mm height with two piece reflective collars.
