Select all that apply: which statements correctly distinguish barriers and cones at road works?
Barriers merely recommend a route but do not close any highway area.
Barriers mark the boundary of an area closed to vehicles and pedestrians.✓Correct answer
Cones always mean that the entire road is closed in both directions.
Cones may mark the edge of a temporary route through or past the obstruction.✓Correct answer
Explanation
Barriers define an area of highway closed to both vehicles and pedestrians, while cones can trace the usable route past a temporary obstruction. Treating barriers as lane guidance or cones as proof of a full closure reverses their different functions.
