Delineation elements: cones on the carriageway

In traffic, there is an **order of priority** among the different types of signals:

1. **Orders given by law enforcement officers.**
2. **Temporary signing and delineation** that temporarily modifies the normal use of the road (includes cones and temporary beacons).
3. **Traffic lights.**
4. **Vertical signs.**
5. **Road markings.**

Within temporary signing are the **delineation elements**, and among them, the **delineator devices** such as:

- **Temporary edge beacons**
- **Cones** or other similar devices

These devices **delineate areas** and **prohibit passing** across the **real or imaginary line** that joins them.

Therefore, the cones placed on the carriageway are **temporary delineation elements** and **delineator devices** that mark an area **through which vehicles may not drive or cross**.
