Cone Spacing

[White Noise]

I had a look earlier today and reckoned on one between each white line and a bit more, it's 100m so reckoned I,m going to have to acquire about 25 cones

 

Best phone WALLS then :lol: no flake for me

Don't they come in packs of 100 tho. Not sure tesco will let you take them out the packet.??????

Lots of boring but possibly usefull info here, scroll to page 173 for cone table

[Craig.]

Max spacing of 9m between cones, min of 2 cones between the tapers.

[Dean Lofthouse]

min of 2 cones between the tapers.

 

is that 1.5m Craig ?

[Craig.]

If your using traffic control your lead in taper can be at 45°, with the cones 1.2m apart, then the cones down the job Max of 9m apart with a min of 2 used and then a exit taper. If your not using traffic control ie enough room for both lanes of traffic to pass still it depends on the width of your closure to length of taper and number of cones, 31 to 40 mph single carriage way 1m wide 20m taper 4 cones, 2m wide 40m taper 6 cones on so on. All exit tapers 45° and 1.2m spacing.

its a three lane road, which is perfect, just going to close the overtaking lane going uphill starting from where it turns into two lanes at a traffic island so no taper required on that side. Then taper my side downhill into the centre lane, which then tapers back in itself before the island.

 

The road is an ideal layout really

 

thanks for that Craig
