Traffic Cones for Roadworks & Site Safety

Traffic cones provide a clear and highly visible way to mark out working areas, redirect traffic and separate vehicles or pedestrians from temporary hazards.

At CID Group, we stock road cones suited to a range of traffic management environments, from urban roads and single carriageways through to larger cones for higher-speed roads and motorway applications. As part of our wider traffic management equipment range, they can be used alongside other products for roadworks, highways and temporary traffic control.

The range includes traditional one-piece and two-piece cones as well as the Sureguard Flexicone 750, which uses a flexible, impact-resistant one-piece construction designed to recover its shape after impact. Its slim base also allows more cones to be stacked for storage and transport.

What Size Traffic Cone Do I Need?

Cone size should reflect the type of road or working environment where it will be deployed.

As per Chapter 8 guidance:

  • 500mm traffic cones are suited to single carriageway and urban-road applications where appropriate.
  • 750mm traffic cones are suited to single or dual carriageways and urban-road traffic management applications.
  • 1 metre traffic cones are the cone size specified in the catalogue for motorway use.

For road applications, the appropriate equipment should always be selected in line with the relevant requirements of the Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 8 and the specific traffic-management setup being used.

Types of Road Cones

One-Part Traffic Cones

CID’s one-piece traffic cones are available in 500mm and 750mm sizes.

They are manufactured from 100% recycled thermoplastic and can be supplied with bespoke embossing and colour options where required. These provide a straightforward option for contractors needing durable cones for regular road and site use.

Two-Part Road Cones

Our two-piece road cones are available in 750mm and 1 metre sizes.

They feature a blow-moulded top with easy-grip access and a recyclable thermoplastic base with an anti-slip feature. High-performance reflective sleeves provide daylight visibility and night-time reflectivity, making them suited to professional traffic-management applications.

Sureguard Flexicone 750

The Sureguard Flexicone 750 is a 750mm one-piece traffic cone designed for roadworks, highways and traffic management.

Its flexible construction is built to withstand bending, crushing and vehicle impacts, with a recoverable shape that can be worked back into form following distortion. The slim-base design also improves stacking efficiency, with up to 333 cones per pallet.

The Flexicone conforms to BS EN 13422 and meets the requirements of Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, Safety at Street Works & Road Works requirements, and the Traffic Signs Regulations & General Directions.

Specialist Traffic Cones

We also stock specialist cones for more specific site requirements. The range includes a 1m green cone, a 1m blue cone with a Danger Overhead Cables sleeve, and No Waiting cones. These provide additional options where colour or messaging is needed to communicate a particular restriction or site hazard.

Traffic Cone Accessories

Traffic cones can also be combined with accessories to improve visibility or create a more complete temporary traffic-management setup.

CID Group stocks replacement reflective road-cone sleeves for 450mm, 750mm and 1000mm cones, along with cone lamps and batteries. Cone-mounted lighting options include photocell-controlled lamps for dusk-to-dawn operation and flashing cone lights with integral cone brackets.

Where a wider temporary demarcation system is required, cones can also be used with products such as extending barrier poles and cone-chain connectors from CID’s wider site and traffic management ranges.
