Abstract:
1. A traffic flow indicator for a traffic cone, comprising: a) a movable, planar arrow-shaped pointer extending between a pointed end and an opposite shaft end; and b) a bracket mounted on the traffic cone for mounting the pointer on the traffic cone, the pointer being mounted on the bracket for pivoting movement between a stacking position in which the pointer is vertical, the pointer in the stacking position being sized to be accommodated in a space between the traffic cone and another traffic cone nested therewith, and a plurality of pointing positions each of which is angularly spaced from the vertical, the pointer being manually pivotable by pushing on the shaft end, the pointed end of the pointer directing traffic in a traffic flow direction in each pointing position, the pointer in each pointing position being pivotable to the stacking position by the other traffic cone pushing on the pointed end during nesting with the traffic cone.
