But I would think that it was The Midlands that invented the Cone Storage Area, - it has spread.
There are huge numbers of traffic cones in existence and no one has a warehouse or yard big enough to store them when not in use.
The answer is to keep them 'in use' by placing them randomly on roads where they just think it would be a good idea to do some work, regardless of whether any work is being carried out. - Miles and miles of single lanes with no-one actually working, - Just a Cone Storage Area.
