Orange traffic cylinders
Construction barrels are the large orange cylindrical markers placed along roadways to warn drivers of work zones, lane closures, or hazards.
They're designed to be highly visible and to absorb minor impacts without damaging vehicles.
Also called traffic barrels or drum barrels.
Construction barrels lined the highway for miles.
