History:

Traffic cones have been a vital part of road safety and traffic management since their invention in 1914 by Charles D. Scanlon, an engineer with the California Division of Highways. Originally crafted from concrete, these cones were designed to guide vehicles around hazards or roadwork areas. In the 1950s, the material shifted to more lightweight and durable options like plastic and rubber, making them easier to handle and deploy.

The bright orange color, along with the introduction of reflective bands, became a hallmark of traffic cones, enhancing their visibility during both day and night. Over the years, their role in traffic control and safety has expanded, with cones being used to mark off lanes, indicate temporary road closures, and direct drivers during construction and detour situations. Our miniature traffic cones provide a realistic representation of this essential safety tool, allowing you to accurately recreate roadwork, closures, and other traffic management scenarios in your dioramas.
