The traffic cone is often used in various situations to direct traffic and ensure safety. Although it is not a formal traffic sign, it plays a critical role in indicating caution.

In Germany, traffic cones are typically used to mark construction zones, obstacles in the road, or areas where vehicles should not go. When you see a traffic cone, you should reduce your speed and be aware of potential hazards or changes in the road conditions ahead.

Always follow any additional signage or instructions provided in conjunction with traffic cones, as they are used to enhance road safety and protect both drivers and pedestrians.
