Matkel traffic cones come in 40, 50, 60, and 70 cm heights with rubber or concrete bases. 40 cm suits parking areas and walkways, while 60 and 70 cm are better for roads and construction sites. Choose reflective bands based on traffic speed.
Yes, high-density plastic cones with UV stabilizers hold their color and shape in Riyadh and Dammam heat. They resist cracking after rain and wind exposure. For stability, select a heavier base so cones do not tip in open or windy areas.
Standard cones are lightweight and best for car parks, indoor corridors, and short-term controls. Heavy-base cones with 15 to 25 kg bases suit highways, exposed sites, and high winds. Choose a heavy base when traffic speed is high or visibility must remain safe.
The number depends on road width, lane closures, and speed. Place a taper before the work zone, then cones along the safe lane. For highways in Saudi Arabia, use more cones at closer spacing so drivers notice the setup early and merge safely.
For highways, choose 60 or 70 cm cones with wide reflective bands and a heavy base that resists wind. Orange or white reflective surfaces improve visibility at night. Matkel offers traffic cones that support safe lane closures and road-work setups in Saudi sites.
