I have 3, only cus I wanted more than 1, and could get 3 for price of 2!
good choice getting cones......IMO better than signs. 2 would prob do but they are stackeable and handy if you want some on both sides of street.

as mine are mostly in housing estates, I usually trail over paths etc. I don't worry to much, but good to be seen to be 'taking precautions', lol. :-\

Tripping over the trip hazard sign, ironic.

I have two but 99.9% of the time I only need one for residential. Can't even remember when I had two out.

Dont bother either. If they're stupid enough to trip over a bright yellow hose then they're not going to pay attention to a warning sign anyhow

I have four of those heavier yellow ones and two orange and whitecones.  If that,s not enough, I have a couple of those "wet floor" signs too.  I do have a couple of jobs where I need all of these too.  However, most of the time I only use one.  That's where the pipe that joins the van with the reel crosses the footpath.  I also put a rubber mat over it.
