Professional Highway Construction
Highway contractors choose 28" cones for their reliability in demanding conditions. Perfect for lane closures, work zone approaches, and areas where worker safety depends on highly visible, stable traffic control devices. Many state DOTs specify 28" minimum height for arterial road work.
⚠️ Important: Use 28" cones for speeds 35-45 mph. For interstate highways over 45 mph, upgrade to 36" cones to meet MUTCD requirements.
