Traffic Cone with or without Base?

traffic cone, traffic cones, construction cone, construction conesI decided to bring up the topic of traffic cone bases because there seems to be some confusion.  It depends on who makes the product, but generally, the traffic cones are made in a way that they do not need bases.

The way it works is the traffic cones are heavy enough so that they do not need bases.  Of course you can always add bases to your cones if you want to but it will cost extra money to buy those bases.

If you stop by your local car wash, you will probably see green or blue traffic cones directing you to the building.  Even when stopping at your son’s or daughter’s soccer practice, you will see mini traffic cones for them to dribble between.  You really can’t get away from them, they are everywhere.

It could be that you need them to stay up even when hit by a car, though less likely.  To explore the different weight options, first find out the weight of the cone and then the accessories they offer in order to increase the weight of the traffic cone and keep it down.

Always be weary of a traffic cone that comes from China.  They can become disfigured under the heat and turn different colors.  Other issues include the quality of the reflective tape.  Try looking into these issues before purchasing traffic cones.
