Traffic Cones
Traffic cones are typically used to keep traffic routed around the seal coat work area as shown in Figure 8‑1. Traffic cone placement must be checked to ensure:
- Sight distance is adequate prior to lane closure
- Proper spacing and taper lengths
- Cones are placed past the distance of the first asphalt shot
- Cones are placed outside the operating path of the asphalt distributor and aggregate spreader.Figure 8-1. Traffic Cones in Position.
