What is the cone in the parking space called?

[WilliamAnn]

The cone in the parking space is called a traffic cone. Here are the specific details: 1. Purpose: It is used to temporarily separate traffic flow, guide traffic, direct vehicles around hazardous sections, and protect construction site facilities and personnel in surrounding areas or appropriate locations. When used at night, a warning light should be installed on its top. It is widely applied in expressways, intersections, road construction zones, hazardous areas, stadiums, parking lots, hotels, residential communities, and other places. It is an essential traffic safety facility for traffic management, municipal authorities, road administration, urban construction, military units, stores, and government agencies. 2. Performance characteristics: It features excellent flexibility, resistance to vehicle rolling, and durability against hard object impacts. It is also sunproof, weather-resistant, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, crack-resistant, and colorfast.

The common traffic cones we see in parking spaces are generally called traffic cones or road cones. I used them frequently during my long-haul trucking days. Most are made of orange or red-and-white plastic with reflective strips on top. These things are mainly used to demarcate safety zones, like temporarily reserving parking spots, guiding reversing vehicles, or marking construction areas. They're especially common in shopping mall basements where security guards place them to reserve VIP parking. Their weighted base design keeps them stable even on windy days, and some high-end models even come with LED lights. I recommend choosing ones with weighted bases, otherwise they'll easily shift if bumped by a car. These cones can be stacked for storage, and keeping a few in your home garage is quite practical.

We all call these traffic cones 'ice cream cones' because they look like ice cream cones. The property management in our neighborhood often uses them to reserve parking spaces, especially during cleaning or maintenance. They're usually made of rubber or PVC, very lightweight—I can carry more than ten without any effort. They have horizontal stripes on the surface to enhance reflectivity, making them highly visible under car headlights at night. Besides reserving parking spaces, construction crews on the road can't do without them. Once when my car got scratched, I just placed two cones as a temporary warning—much more convenient than setting up a warning sign. The best part is they're cheap; you can buy one for just ten yuan at a hardware store, and they don't take up much space when stacked in a corner after use.

In traffic facilities, it's called a conical traffic delineator, but in our repair shop, we all refer to it as a traffic barrier. Made of durable plastic, the one I bought four years ago is still in use. The common height ranges between 40 to 70 centimeters, and I usually opt for the 55 cm ones as they're noticeable enough in the garage. Their core function is reflectivity, with the 3M reflective film capable of reflecting headlights from over a hundred meters away at night. Besides marking parking spaces, I also use them to cordon off car wash areas or temporary storage zones. They typically feature a weighted base design to prevent toppling in strong winds. Prices vary from a few dollars to several dozen, so pay attention to the quality of the reflective strips when purchasing.
