Mastercone 450mm Two-Piece Road Traffic Cone

Who Is This For?

Traffic management contractors, utility companies, street works operatives, and construction site managers who need a compact, certified cone for lower-speed road environments or non-highway applications. Also the right choice for facilities managers, event companies, car park operators, and any buyer who needs a lighter, easier-to-handle cone without sacrificing BSI Kitemark certification.

Typical Applications

• Single carriageway road works on roads with a speed limit up to 50mph
• Dual carriageway works where the speed limit is 40mph or below
• Street works and utility operations under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991
• Car parks, forecourts, retail parks, and industrial estate traffic management
• Pedestrian area demarcation and temporary access control
• Indoor environments including warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities
• Events and temporary cordoning where a lightweight, portable cone is needed
• Site compound internal routes and pedestrian segregation

How to Use

1. Check the Starlux sleeve is correctly seated and the centre is fully engaged with the base before deployment.
2. Place cones at spacings required by your traffic management plan, consistent with Chapter 8 Table A1.3 for the road type and speed limit.
3. The 450mm cone is compliant for single carriageway roads up to 50mph and dual carriageways up to 40mph. On higher speed roads use the 750mm or 1m variant.
4. Before night deployment, confirm the sleeve is clean. Mud or debris reduces retroreflective performance.
5. Stack cones for transport with centres nested into bases. Store away from prolonged direct UV exposure when not in use.
6. Inspect before redeployment. Replace cracked centres and split bases individually. Only replace the damaged component.

Safety

• Deploy in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice.
• The 450mm is the minimum permitted cone height on any UK public highway. Do not use a cone below this height on any public road.
• On single carriageway roads with high traffic speeds or restricted forward visibility, Chapter 8 recommends upgrading from 450mm to 750mm where possible.
• CDM 2015 places duties on principal contractors to plan and manage traffic routes on construction sites.
• Operatives placing or recovering cones on live carriageways must wear EN ISO 20471 Class 3 high-visibility clothing as a minimum.
• Do not substitute cones for certificated vehicle restraint systems or pedestrian barriers where those are specified.

Maintenance

Wipe the Starlux sleeve with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which degrade the prismatic pocketing. Replace centres that are cracked or deformed. Replace bases that have lost structural integrity or anti-slip profile. Worn cones are 100% recyclable.
