By Grace Rivas


Traffic cones are good for very many uses along the road. They help in increasing safety on roads for road users. They help in alerting other road users of any form of construction that may be going on. People are also alerted of any hazards on road. Their main objective is to promoting safety among various road users.

They contain reflecting material on them which helps in ensuring that other people are able to see them very clearly. They are useful for many functions and also used by many people in different walks of life. The items are universal in nature which makes them suitable for different kinds of people and industries.

People in construction industry use them to clearly mark off the area that is being worked on. Many people prefer them because of the numerous advantages that they have. For starters, they are made from plastic which is a highly durable material under normal use. Furthermore, they became easily collapsible thereby making them very easy to store away without consuming a lot of space in storage which is ideal for them.

One other major advantage that they have is light in nature, that is, they also easy to move around. This eases up the transportation process of these cones. Moving them around becomes an easy process and less time consuming because a person can carry many of them at the same time. They also help in saving lives through accidents which may have been caused by people who drive in to construction sites without noticing.

Police officers also use these products while erecting road blocks on roads. Road users become cautious when approaching them. Police officers use them as a means of slowing down traffic so that they can conduct a traffic check on roads. They are very useful because they can be use even in the night since they are made with reflectors which reflect the light from the headlights of the vehicles thereby making them visible.

However, there are some instances whereby they are used inside building to mark off some hazards such as wet floor or slippery floor. This is completely not visible with the naked eye and needs an enforcement of some kind, hence their use. People walking around in the building clearly see them and avoid the specific zoned off areas of the floor.

Teachers of driving classes use them to sharpen the parking skills of their students. Students are supposed to drive around them without hitting or touching them. They become highly visible and at the same time do not cause any damage to the car in the event that they are hit by accident. These are often placed around a parking area for training purposes.

Traffic cones are made from plastic material. This can be obtained from trash matter and recycled to produce them. This means that their existence is benefiting the environment in a way. In addition to that, they facilitate the creation of jobs thereby eliminating or reducing the level of unemployment in the country and improving the economic state.
