18 in Orange PVC Traffic Cones (5 Cones) - Reflective 6 in Collar

In this review of the 18 in Orange PVC Traffic Cones (5 pack), the bottom line is simple: these cones are a practical, weatherproof option for routine traffic control, parking, and short-term work zones. They deliver the single biggest advantage most buyers want - reliable visibility - thanks to a 6 in high intensity reflective collar that provides 360 degree reflectivity day or night. Built with cold-resistant PVC and a heavy duty weighted base, these cones stay upright in wind and retain their shape across typical temperature extremes, making them a sensible, budget-friendly alternative to heavier professional units.

Key Features

• Heavy Duty Base: The weighted black base improves stability and reduces tipping in winds up to typical roadside gusts, so cones remain effective without constant repositioning.
• High Intensity Reflective Film: The 6 in reflective collar offers strong 360 degree visibility in low light and adverse weather, helping drivers and pedestrians spot the cones from multiple directions.
• High Quality PVC: Constructed from cold-resistant PVC, the cones resist deformation in temperatures from about -20C up to 55C and maintain bright orange color under normal outdoor exposure.
• Multi Functional Design: Sized for parking lots, schools, practice driving and construction perimeter marking, the cones are easy to place, store, and deploy for short- to medium-term use.
• MUTCD Compatibility: The cones include a black base and are made to meet MUTCD specifications for 18 in traffic safety cones, which simplifies compliance for many local applications.

Who It's For

These cones suit fleet managers, schools, event coordinators, and small contractors who need a dependable, low-cost option for marking lanes, parking zones, and temporary hazards. The 18 in height and reflective collar make them a good match for areas with vehicle traffic and evening activity.

Professionals requiring certified heavy-duty highway barricades or permanent traffic control devices for long-term work zones should look to higher-spec equipment, but for everyday site marking and short-term traffic control these cones are a practical choice.
