The contraflows on Oahu, the cones are placed about 5 yards apart from each other with spaces where there are intersections.
There is a crew that works during the rush hour picking up any cones that may have fallen over. Once the initial cones have been laid down during non-peak hours...it doesn't take that much time for the cone people to drive on the other side of the highway picking up the occasional cone that falls down... Which is what is done on oahu.
I have seen the cones during some of the heaviest rains on oahu and with Weighted Cones the problem of them moving during winds and rain was resolved.
I'm not saying that this should be a long term solution... just a short term solution until the H-130 Widening project has been completed.
