orange cone

Road work signal

An orange cone is a bright orange plastic marker, typically conical and hollow, used to direct traffic or cordon off areas.

Orange cones appear at construction sites, accident scenes, and anywhere temporary lane changes or hazards need flagging.

Also called a traffic cone or safety cone.

We set up orange cones around the pothole until the crew could fix it.
