INCHTURE — Traffic cones on the A90 near Inchture faced Friday’s rain with the stoicism of equipment that has never known a dry Tuesday.
“They’re fine,” said a roads crew member. “They prefer this. Yesterday’s sun made them shiny and philosophical. Nobody wants a philosophical cone.”
Several cones were seen leaning into the wind “for aerodynamic reasons”.
