‘While closely related to the apex scavenger that is the Wet floor sign, the feeding habits and herd behaviors of the humble Road cone are vastly different from that of said solitary opportunist.
When a road is injured, it doesn’t take long for the first few Road cones to arrive and begin feeding. Such an infestation of cones can rapidly explode in number, and so road repair is often a high priority, to try and keep their numbers in check. Once fixed, the Road cones are quick to migrate elsewhere, and await their next chance to feed.
Some breeds of Cones have been domesticated, and can be found with the families they live with, often brought along to sporting events, where the miniature Cones crowd around the edges of the Sports field.
There are many subtle variations of the standard Road cone, and it is an endlessly interesting field to explore. Next episode, we will cover more of a midpoint between the solitary opportunistic Wet floor sign & the communal Road cone with the famed Construction pylon!’
