Retro-reflective sleeves for road and no waiting cones, that increase visibility from a cone when the original sleeve becomes worn. 'Danger overhead cables' sleeve (reflective sleeve to fit 750mm cones) and sleeve adhesive are also available. When using traffic cones, it is important that they 'stand out' from other visual stimuli, and are recognisable from a distance. This means ensuring sleeves are replaced, so that traffic cones maintain their effectiveness.
These reflective cone sleeves for traffic cones all conform to the standards presented in regulation; BS EN 13422:2004. Replacement cone sleeves for traffic cones of sizes 450mm, 750mm and 1m are currently available. Remember that larger traffic cones are more suitable when a road user must see them from far away. An example of using larger traffic cones would be on a road where drivers are usually going at a high speed, such as a dual carriageway or motorway, because it gives them more time to react from when they first see the cone/cones.
