Why is there a cone outside my house?
Traffic Cones are placed on roads, pavements and privately owned land by the council for a number of reasons including roadworks, hazardous zone markings, ceremonial acts of confusion or part of a breakaway sect of your local council acting to:
- Create a warning to other cones
- Marking a placeholder for future disappointment
- Covertly GPS tracked cones to catch university students who steal them after a night out
A cone left unattended for more than 14 days can claim assylum in your local neighbourhood
What can I do about it?
