Expert Insights

Select cone height based on road speed: 18-inch cones for parking lots and low-speed areas, 28-inch for roads up to 45 mph, and 36-inch or taller for highways above 45 mph per MUTCD guidelines. Add reflective collars for any nighttime use. Cones lose flexibility and visibility over time due to UV degradation. Replace cones that are faded, cracked, or won't return to upright position after being struck. For high-wind areas, use cones with weighted bases or rubber base attachments to prevent tipping and migration.

For traffic control companies, municipalities, and airport operations: Traffic cones and delineators are the most-used devices in temporary traffic control. From short-term lane shifts to long-duration work zones, our cones and posts meet MUTCD requirements for height, color, and retroreflectivity across all speed zones.

Fleet quantities of 50, 100, or 500+ units are available for immediate shipment. All cones feature UV-stabilized PVC construction for extended service life, and our delineator posts are designed for repeated impacts without cracking — reducing replacement costs across your traffic control inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What height cone do I need?

Per MUTCD: 18-inch cones for parking lots and low-speed areas, 28-inch cones for roads up to 45 mph, and 36-inch or taller for roads above 45 mph. Add reflective collars for any nighttime or low-visibility use.

What is the difference between PVC and polyethylene cones?

PVC cones are the industry standard — flexible, durable, and cost-effective. Polyethylene cones offer superior UV resistance and cold-weather flexibility but typically cost more. Both meet MUTCD requirements when properly reflectorized.

How long do traffic cones last?

With normal use, quality PVC cones last 1-3 years depending on UV exposure and traffic conditions. Replace cones that are faded, cracked, won't stand upright, or have torn reflective collars. Indoor cones last significantly longer.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • ★★★★★

    "We go through a lot of cones in our parking structures — cars hit them constantly. These PVC cones bounce back to shape every time. We've had the same set for over a year and they still look good. Way better lifespan than the cheap ones from the hardware store."

    — Ray Patterson, Parkway Garage Management

  • ★★★★★

    "The tubular delineators with the high-intensity prismatic sheeting are visible from well beyond the required distance. We use them on highway tapers and they give drivers plenty of advance warning. NCHRP 350 compliant too."

    — Sandra Voss, National Traffic Systems

    ✅ Verified Buyer

  • ★★★★★

    "We replaced our entire cone inventory with 36-inch cones with dual reflective collars. The difference on the tarmac at night is remarkable. Ground crews and pilots both commented on improved visibility during taxiing operations."
