The Use of Traffic Cones and Lane Separator

When you are driving, you can always see the traffic cones and lane separators in the roadside. Do you know what are the use of them?

Generally, traffic cones are used in construction or damaged places on streets for road safety. They are designed to help you see what has happened on the road to help you keep yourself from getting in accidents, particularly when the road is being repaired. They can be used to keep parking space or area instead of parking space lock.

Nowadays, the traffic cones are usually made of PVC materials. The PVC cones have advantages of environmental protection and long life span.

The cones are are normally colored fluorescent orange and white. Those colors are used simply because they offer higher visibility. Sometimes, the white part is replaced with reflective film to improve the visibility in night. In some countries, the cones are equipped with led flashing lights in the head to improve the safety.

Lane separator is a special road safety product, which consists of rubber base, reflective film and flexible plastic flag. It is mainly placed along road sides or edges of the middle line to indicate the direction of the road and prevent the traffic hazards such as creasing etc. Since the flag with reflective film is just facing the drive direction of the vehicle, so it can be easily caught by drivers in night and rainy days.

The flag is made of high elasticity engineering plastic which can be quickly restitution after vehicle collision.
