Last night as I was driving back from work, I nearly ran into a tent which was built up for the festive season. The tent has gone beyond the pavement and the poles were on the road itself. I managed to slow down in time, thank God for that. But that incident kept me pondering for awhile, what if other drivers were driving at a faster speed than me, what if they couldn’t stop in time to avoid the poles of the tent? Don’t the owners of the tent consider this, though the tent is temporary built up for some festive season, but at least they should put up some traffic cones some meters away from the tent to give a sign to the oncoming drivers. Or at least get some warning flags to divert the drivers to the outer lane. This is very uncivic-mindedness of humans and when accidents occur, it will be too late to pinpoint those that is responsible
From what I read in this website, traffic cones are in orange in color, they are suitable to meet outdoor safety needs. For those who need traffic control, traffic barricades are another option. The white and orange stripes on these traffic barricades are made from engineer-grade reflective sheeting to last and, at night, catch motorists’ attention. Both of these traffic control devices, in addition, can support “A” or “C” lights on top. Click onto their website for more information on these safety products.
