text: Traffic cone Traffic cones, also called pylons, witches' hats, road cones, highway cones, safety cones, channelizing devices, or construction cones, are usually cone-shaped markers that are placed on roads or footpaths to temporarily redirect traffic in a safe manner. They are often used to create separation or merge lanes during road construction projects or automobile accidents, although heavier, more permanent markers or signs are used if the diversion is to stay in place for a long period of time. Traffic cones were invented by Charles D. Scanlon, an American who got the idea while working as a painter for the

As the comparatively poor improvements in pedestrian safety have become a concern at OECD level, the "Joint Transport Research Centre of OECD and the International Transport Forum" (JTRC) convened an international expert group and published a report entitled "”Pedestrian Safety, Urban Space and Health in 2012”".

Study conducted in Finland revealed that the fatality risk is increased most when a road accident type is either pedestrian or meeting of the vehicles. In addition to management systems, which apply predominantly to networks in built-up areas, another class of interventions relates to the design of roadway networks for new districts. Such interventions explore the configurations of a network that will inherently reduce the probability of collisions. Interventions for the prevention of road traffic injuries are often evaluated; the Cochrane Library has published a

Often the cone-in-cone will be found as features of calcite layers within a shale, and rarely within a dedolomite (calcitized dolomite).

It accounts for the most uniform and consistent explanation of growth and why cone-in-cone can occur with such variable composition.
