Low-Tech Solutions: Reflective Traffic Cone with Alarm

No IP address, no WiFi, works in a power failure, warns workers and drivers with a loud (124 db) signal:

  SonoBlaster(R) Work Zone Intrusion Alarm – SonoBlaster® is an impact-activated safety device that warns work crews and errant vehicle drivers simultaneously to help prevent crashes and injuries in work zones. The NCHRP 350 accepted SonoBlaster® mounts on typical work zone barricades, cones, drums, delineators, A-frames and other barriers. Upon impact of an errant vehicle, the SonoBlaster’s built-in CO2 powered horn blasts at 125 dB to signal workers that their protective zone has been violated, giving them critical reaction time to move out of harms way.
