TL;DR
A traffic cone setup is the arrangement of cones, barricade tape, and signage that closes a freshly sealcoated driveway or lot to vehicles and foot traffic during the cure window. Sealer typically needs 4 to 8 hours before foot traffic and 24 to 48 hours before cars, longer in cool or humid weather, and one early tire print scars the surface permanently.

Sealer typically needs 4 to 8 hours before foot traffic and 24 to 48 hours before cars, longer in cool or humid weather, and one early tire print scars the surface permanently. Crews block every entrance, tape off shortcuts pedestrians actually use, and on commercial lots phase the work so part of the parking stays open.
