EMPS # 77- The Cone Zone

 
" EMPS #77: THE CONE ZONE
Traffic, we all have to deal with it in one way or another, and there always seem to be CONE ZONES somewhere amongst it all. This week, show me something CONE ZONE related. Men at work, traffic cones all lined up, anything CONE ZONE related. But please folks, take your photos from a proper place and distance as to not put yourself at risk, or interfere with those who are working within the zone. SAFETY FIRST! Be mindful of the laws in your state.

Extra Credit: Show me a picture of a traffic sign... any traffic sign."
 
At roadside here, the cone are used occasionally together with the redish orange and white blocker, or what ever they call it. It's more commonly used than the cone here, to warn of impending works done by the roadside.. this photo was taken just yesterday , it's a public holidays due to the Chinese New Year celebrations, and the road here is in town was practically deserted which gave me a good view from the road itself. Of course I got my younger son watching my back for incoming traffic. Safety was not compromised at all.

Further down the road I saw more cones used to blocked one  parking lot. This car park is not open to public , it's reserved to special visitors to the old Supreme Court which is now being converted into a museum. The cones were put there probably due to some works being done to that particular lot, I didn't come closer look.

I would probably call those blockers or blockades or something of that nature. You got good pictures of them and the cones!

Nice perspective! Isn't it funny how they are always just where you want to go.
