Road Cones South Africa

The Uses And Types Of Road Cones In South Africa

South Africa’s roads have always been known to be a dangerous place to be and drivers are constantly being encouraged to be more alert and aware when on the road. There are a vast number of road safety products and features used on the roads in an attempt to make them a safer place to be for motorists, passengers, pedestrians and road workers alike. Road cones in South Africa are a popular example of some of the safety products found on our roads.

Each year, more safety features are installed and more awareness campaigns are launched in order to get South African road users so realise their responsibility on the road.

Road cones in South Africa are designed specifically at Armco RSP’s SABS ISO 1461 accredited hot dip galvanising plant. Here they are manufactured according to SABS ISO 9002 safety standards. Only the finest and best quality materials are used to make road cones. This is done to ensure that they do not crack, fade and peel when exposed to the elements for extended periods of time. UV resistant colourants and materials are the best way to ensure that these products are durable and long lasting.
