"...the idea is that drivers will be less likely to run over, say, a sheep, than they would a traffic cone."

What about making them look like members of the NDP, Bloc or Liberal Party ... that'd work real good too.

I dunno. There's lots of folks in Ontario these days who'd probably consider running into a Liberal cone. ;)

Ha ha ha...that's a riot!
For most of us city folk...they would be good target practice. (we dont hold animals in high regard like the country folk LoL) Look at the size of them. Hard to miss:D

And can you imagine those things on 4 little peg legs...in the wind?? They'd be over in no time. Does that mean you'd have to explain to your little kid why no one was stopping to help the poor little sheeps laying down sick in the road? :D

Actually, sheep are probably a good choice for cones; they're stubborn, pushy, and stupid. And if they're rolled onto their backs in even a small depression, they can't get out of it by themselves ... just like cones. :p

And just like Liberals.

Switzerland is the last country on earth that people should be taking car/traffic related advice from. Don't they have some of the most ludicrous traffic laws ..... in the world? Or at least that's the impression I get whenever Jeremy Clarkson drives through there.

I want those cones in autocross! Maybe as end cones in the stop box :P

As I mentioned on another board, you'll be OK if you have a Border Collie cone to keep the sheep cones in place. :p

I still like this one best.
