Durable 18" fluorescent orange traffic cones provide highly visible advance warning of safety hazards and help redirect traffic. PVC injection molding process ensures they will be flexible to withstand vehicle impact and still maintain their shape. One-piece design keeps the bases from being lost or removed accidentally. Bases are made of flexible rubber to help them grip the road and remain stable in higher winds. Cones are stackable for storage and are great for directing traffic, marking construction sites, and managing parking lot traffic.
Stenciling is available. Stenciling a cone can be used to identify your company, municipality, agency, or a particular location. Minimum of 50 traffic cones required. Call for quote and lead time.

Traffic cones (also called road cones, pylons or 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 it is important to be informed of safety standards in your areas so that you are meeting the appropriate guidelines. We outline some basic guidelines below and a link to the MUTCD online manual.

4-6" Cones | These shorter cones are used in athletic events, obstacles courses, and games. |
12" Traffic Cones | Used for indoor and outdoor applications. Indoors you may see these cones used in areas like work areas in a building or slippery floors. Outdoors these cones are most often used in parking lots. |
18" Traffic Cones | 18 inches is the minimum height required for street usage. These cones are typically used outdoors in street work areas, like line painting or other areas needing delineation. |
