# Lime Green Traffic Cones & High-Visibility Safety Cones

Boulevard Supply provides professional-grade **lime green traffic cones** for commercial properties, schools and campuses, parking facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, event facilities, training courses and other controlled environments throughout the continental United States.

These highly visible cones are commonly searched for as **lime traffic cones, lime green safety cones, yellow-green traffic cones, fluorescent green traffic cones and fluorescent yellow-green cones**. JBC Safety Plastic identifies the actual product color in its catalog as **Lime**.

Lime cones provide a visually distinctive alternative to conventional orange traffic cones when an organization wants to identify a particular area, activity, traffic pattern or operational function. They are available from Boulevard Supply in **18-inch, 28-inch and 36-inch JBC Revolution Series configurations**, with reflective and non-reflective options.

## Important: Lime Green Cones Are Not a Substitute for Orange Roadway Traffic Cones

The Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices specifies that **cones used as temporary traffic control devices shall be predominantly orange**.

Fluorescent yellow-green is also an officially recognized MUTCD color, but it is associated with specific warning applications such as pedestrian, bicycle, school bus and school warnings. The fact that fluorescent yellow-green is an MUTCD-recognized color does **not** mean that a lime green traffic cone can automatically replace an orange cone in a roadway temporary traffic control application.

**Boulevard Supply does not represent JBC lime green cones as a substitute for MUTCD-required orange traffic cones on public roads, highways or temporary traffic control zones.** Buyers considering colored cones for a regulated application should obtain approval from the applicable transportation agency, project engineer or other authority having jurisdiction.

## What Are Lime Green Traffic Cones Used For?

The greatest advantage of a lime green cone is **visual differentiation**. Orange cones are so closely associated with construction and temporary roadway work that a different cone color can communicate a separate operational purpose within a controlled property or facility.

### Schools & Campuses

Lime cones can be used on school and campus property for parking organization, pickup and drop-off operations, temporary access restrictions, event circulation and other controlled-property applications.

### Parking Operations

A distinct cone color can help identify reserved areas, temporary closures, vehicle staging locations, valet operations or special parking instructions without visually blending into ordinary orange construction equipment.

### Warehouses & Distribution

Use a separate cone color to distinguish loading operations, temporary work areas, staging locations, equipment zones or internal vehicle-control functions within a commercial facility.

### Events & Venues

Lime cones can provide highly visible temporary guidance for parking areas, vehicle staging, vendor areas, service entrances and controlled portions of event property.

### Training & Skills Courses

Colored cones are useful for driver training, motorcycle exercises, maneuvering courses and other instructional layouts where different colors can identify separate exercises or boundaries.

### Facility Identification

Industrial, institutional and commercial properties can use different cone colors as part of an internal visual system for identifying specific areas, departments or temporary operating conditions.

## Lime Green vs. Orange Traffic Cones

| Characteristic | Lime Green Cone | Orange Cone |
| -------------- | --------------- | ----------- |
| **Primary advantage** | Distinctive high-visibility color for specialty and controlled-property applications | Standard color associated with temporary traffic control |
| **Public roadway TTC use** | Do not assume acceptable as a substitute for an orange traffic cone | MUTCD cone provisions specify predominantly orange cones |
| **Commercial property** | Useful where color differentiation is desirable | Useful where conventional construction or traffic-control appearance is appropriate |
| **Operational color coding** | Can help distinguish a separate function or controlled area | Less distinctive when orange equipment is already being used nearby |
| **Available JBC sizes** | 18, 28 and 36 inches in the supplied JBC product catalog | Broader range of standard traffic-control configurations |

## JBC Lime Green Traffic Cone Selection

| Height | Weight | Body | Reflective Options | JBC Models | Listed Pallet Qty. |
| ------ | ------ | ---- | ------------------ | ---------- | ------------------ |
| **18 inches** | 3 lb | Wide | Non-reflective or one 6-inch collar | RS45015C-Lime
RS45015C-Lime+3M6 | 640 |
| **28 inches** | 7 lb | Wide | Non-reflective, one 6-inch collar, or 6-inch + 4-inch collars | RS70032C-LIME
RS70032C-Lime+3M6
RS70032C-Lime+3M64 | 306 |
| **36 inches** | 10 lb | Wide | Non-reflective, one 6-inch collar, or 6-inch + 4-inch collars | RS90045CT-LIME
RS90045CT-Lime+3M6
RS90045CT-Lime+3M64 | 225 |

Models, nominal weights, collar configurations and pallet quantities are based on the JBC Safety Plastic dealer product information supplied to Boulevard Supply. Product specifications and availability should be confirmed when ordering.

## 18-Inch Lime Green Traffic Cones

### Compact Lime Safety Cones for Controlled Areas

The 18-inch JBC lime cone is a compact, highly visible option for controlled environments where the size of a conventional 28-inch cone is not required.

**Height:** 18 inches
**Nominal weight:** 3 lb
**Body:** Wide
**Non-reflective model:** RS45015C-Lime
**Reflective model:** RS45015C-Lime+3M6
**Reflective option:** One 6-inch collar
**Listed pallet quantity:** 640
**Manufacturer:** JBC Safety Plastic

Potential applications include private parking facilities, school and campus property, warehouse operations, maintenance areas, loading areas, training exercises and other controlled commercial environments.

An 18-inch lime cone should not be selected for a public-roadway application merely because its height is similar to an orange traffic cone. Color and application requirements must also be considered.

## 28-Inch Lime Green Traffic Cones

### Full-Size High-Visibility Lime Traffic Cones

The **28-inch, 7-pound JBC lime green traffic cone** provides considerably more visual presence than the compact 18-inch model while remaining manageable for crews that regularly deploy, retrieve and stack cones.

For most commercial buyers looking specifically for a full-size lime cone, this is the first size I would consider.

**Height:** 28 inches
**Nominal weight:** 7 lb
**Body:** Wide
**Non-reflective:** RS70032C-LIME
**One-collar model:** RS70032C-Lime+3M6
**Two-collar model:** RS70032C-Lime+3M64
**Reflective options:** 6 inch or 6 + 4 inch
**Listed pallet quantity:** 306

### Where a 28-Inch Lime Cone Makes Sense

- Commercial parking facilities
- School and university property
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Industrial facilities
- Event and venue parking operations
- Vehicle staging areas
- Driver and equipment training
- Temporary internal traffic patterns
- Locations using color to distinguish separate operational areas

## 36-Inch Lime Green Traffic Cones

### Tall Lime Cones for Greater Visibility on Controlled Property

The 36-inch JBC lime cone provides the greatest height in JBC's listed lime-colored cone selection. Its **10-pound nominal weight and 36-inch height** create a substantial visual presence for large facilities and other controlled-property applications.

**Height:** 36 inches
**Nominal weight:** 10 lb
**Body:** Wide
**Collar area:** Recessed
**Non-reflective:** RS90045CT-LIME
**One-collar model:** RS90045CT-Lime+3M6
**Two-collar model:** RS90045CT-Lime+3M64
**Listed pallet quantity:** 225

The additional height can be useful in a large parking facility, industrial property, campus, event venue or other environment where a smaller lime cone might be less noticeable.

**Public roadway caution:** Boulevard Supply does not describe the 36-inch lime green cone as a highway or freeway traffic-control cone. For temporary traffic control on public roadways, use equipment that satisfies the applicable MUTCD provisions, traffic-control plan and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

## Reflective Lime Green Traffic Cones

Reflective collars can make a colored cone significantly easier to identify when illuminated by vehicle headlights or other directed light. JBC offers lime cone configurations with white reflective collar treatments.

| Height | Non-Reflective | One 6-Inch Collar | 6 + 4-Inch Collars |
| ------ | -------------- | ----------------- | ------------------ |
| **18 inch** | Yes | Yes | Not listed |
| **28 inch** | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| **36 inch** | Yes | Yes | Yes |

Reflectivity can improve nighttime visibility, but adding reflective collars to a lime cone does not by itself change the regulatory status of the cone or make it an approved substitute for an orange temporary traffic-control cone.

## Lime Green, Yellow-Green or Fluorescent Yellow-Green?

People use several different names when searching for this color of safety cone. **Lime green, yellow-green, fluorescent green and fluorescent yellow-green** are all common search terms.

There is an important technical distinction, however. **JBC identifies these cone models as Lime.** The MUTCD separately uses the term **fluorescent yellow-green** as a standardized traffic-control color for certain pedestrian, bicycle, school bus and school warning applications.

Boulevard Supply does not claim that the JBC Lime cone body meets a particular MUTCD fluorescent yellow-green color specification unless documentation establishing that compliance is provided for the product.

This distinction is particularly important when equipment is being purchased for a government project or other application with a formal specification. In those situations, the buyer should provide the required color, standard or project specification when requesting a quote.

## Why Use a Different Color Traffic Cone?

Color can become part of a facility's operating system. If every temporary restriction uses orange, employees, drivers and visitors receive little information beyond the fact that some type of temporary condition exists.

A separate lime cone inventory can help an organization visually distinguish one type of activity from another. For example, a facility might reserve orange equipment for maintenance and construction while using lime cones for a particular internal parking, staging or operational function.

The specific meaning assigned to a colored cone should be established by the property or organization. Boulevard Supply does not represent that lime green has a universal regulatory meaning when used as a cone.

## Lime Green Traffic Cones for Schools

Schools are one possible application for lime cones, particularly because the color is highly visible and visually distinctive. However, the color of a portable cone should not be confused with the standardized colors and devices used for official school traffic control.

On school property, lime cones may be useful for operational functions such as:

- Temporary parking organization
- Pickup and drop-off staging
- Bus or vehicle staging on controlled property
- Event parking
- Temporary restricted areas
- Campus maintenance
- Staff or visitor parking organization

Any device placed within a public street, official school zone, crosswalk treatment or regulated traffic-control installation should be selected and positioned according to the applicable traffic-control requirements.

## Lime Green Traffic Cone Frequently Asked Questions

Are lime green traffic cones MUTCD approved?Do not assume that a lime green cone can be substituted for an orange traffic cone in a temporary traffic-control zone. The MUTCD provision specifically addressing cones states that cones shall be predominantly orange. Buyers planning public-roadway use should confirm the required device with the applicable agency or traffic-control professional.

Does the MUTCD recognize fluorescent yellow-green?Yes. Fluorescent yellow-green is an MUTCD-recognized color for specific warning applications involving pedestrians, bicycles, school buses and schools. That color designation does not automatically authorize a lime green cone as a replacement for an orange temporary traffic-control cone.

Is JBC Lime the same as MUTCD fluorescent yellow-green?Boulevard Supply does not make that representation. JBC identifies the cone color in its dealer catalog as Lime. A formal project requiring a specific fluorescent yellow-green color standard should be checked against the required product documentation before ordering.

What sizes of JBC lime green traffic cones are available?The JBC dealer product information supplied to Boulevard Supply lists Lime Revolution Series cones in 18-inch, 28-inch and 36-inch heights.

What is the most versatile lime green traffic cone size?The 28-inch, 7-pound model is a practical starting point for buyers seeking a full-size lime cone. It is available without reflective collars, with one 6-inch collar, or with 6-inch and 4-inch reflective collars.

Are reflective lime green traffic cones available?Yes. JBC lists reflective configurations for its 18, 28 and 36-inch Lime Revolution Series cones. Available collar configurations vary by cone height.

Can lime cones be used at schools?Lime cones can be useful for controlled-property functions such as parking organization, pickup and drop-off staging, campus events and temporary access restrictions. Their use should not be confused with official school-zone traffic-control devices required on public roadways.

Why choose lime green instead of orange?The primary reason is visual differentiation. A facility can use a distinctive cone color to identify an operational purpose that is separate from ordinary orange construction or temporary traffic-control equipment.

Can lime green cones be used on highways?Boulevard Supply does not recommend or represent lime green cones as substitutes for the predominantly orange cones specified by the MUTCD for temporary traffic control. Public-roadway applications should follow the applicable traffic-control plan and agency requirements.

Does Boulevard Supply ship lime traffic cones nationwide?Boulevard Supply supplies qualifying commercial, institutional and government orders throughout the continental United States. Freight and minimum-order considerations vary according to cone size, quantity and destination.
