Traffic Cones need to be orange in color. For daytime and low speed applications cones need to be 18 inches or taller and do not need reflective bands. It must be daytime AND traffic must be limited to 40 miles per hour or less.
For areas where traffic is going faster than 45 mph you must use a 28 inch – 36 inch orange cone. The cone must have two reflective bands. The top band must be 6″ tall and the bottom band must be 4″ tall. The space between the two bands needs to be 2″.
