== traffic cone uses == 

  
 A traffic cone or a safety cone is more than just a cone-shaped marker that is placed on the roads, accident sites, or footpaths to, temporarily, redirect traffic and public in a safe manner. These safety cones are used nowadays for many purposes such as merging lanes during construction projects or informing the oncoming traffic about an accident. 

 These road cones are commonly used by police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to block off areas where nothing should be moved around and to highlight areas that require great attention of the motorists or pedestrians because of low visibility. These safety cones are also used in outdoor spaces to cordon off crime scenes and other incidents. The cones are also used in indoor public spaces to mark off areas (to denote a dangerous area or any other area) that would be closed to the pedestrians and protecting roadside workers working for construction projects. 

 Nowadays, event management companies are making use of the traffic cones to cordon off vehicle drop-off points and denote VIP entry areas or marshalling areas so that things can be effectively managed as per their plans. These cones can be used to line a lane that requires construction besides keeping workers inside the area safe; the safety cones can also be used for keeping cars and other vehicles away from entering unsafe areas. These days, safety cones are also used to warn birds, especially the endangered black-browed albatross, from colliding with fishing gear and guarding them against deadly entanglement. If that is not all, these safety cones are also used in offices and other places to highlight and identify safety hazards such as a wet floor. 

 All these benefits of traffic cones surely suggest that these cone-shaped objects help in creating and maintaining high standards of street and worksite safety for workers, motorists, and pedestrians.
