Description
Safety Traffic Cone 28 is one of the most common and standardized sizes for traffic control, particularly in roadway and construction applications where enhanced visibility is critical. This larger size is often mandated for use on streets and highways.
Features:
- Height: 28 inches (approximately 70 cm). This height meets federal guidelines in the for cones used on certain public roads and is tall enough to be easily seen by drivers of cars and trucks.
- Weight: Typically ranges from 7 to 10+ pounds (3.2 to 4.5+ kg), often achieved with a heavier base. The increased weight provides superior stability against strong wind gusts and vehicle slipstreams on busy roads.
- Material: Constructed from durable, highly flexible PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or sometimes an injection-molded rubber/plastic blend. This material is designed for: High resilience (snapping back to shape after impact), UV resistance (to prevent fading), and all-weather performance.
- Visibility (Day): Fluorescent Orange (or occasionally Lime Green). The bright, long-lasting color ensures excellent visibility during daylight hours.
- Visibility (Night): Equipped with one or two high-intensity reflective bands/collars. The standard configuration usually includes a wider top band and a narrower bottom band to ensure superior retro-reflectivity and 360-degree night visibility.
- Compliance: Often manufactured to comply with regulatory standards like the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices which dictates cone size, color, and reflectivity for use on public roadways.
