Why have they started tying traffic cones together with rope?

Question

i had been out of the UK for a while so i don't know how long it has been like this, but i have noticed that most traffic cones now are tied together, surely this can be dangerous if someone hits one which could drag other ones onto the road

Answer 1

They have been doing this for a while. I believe it is for the roadworkers. You can be a bit complacent when in a closure and there have been occasions when they have stepped back not realising that they were near the edge of the cordon and have been injured. This is a physical barrier that should give the workers a warning although it won't stop them from stepping back into live traffic if they are dense!!
