its a pylon, i dont call it a road cone because at my old old school they were used to block off areas where we weren't allowed to go...and that wasn't the road..it was in a schoolyard...everyone at school always called them pylons and it was a while before i ever heard them called anything else...

this is most definately a pylon, but for some reason, i laughed hysterically at the idea of a "road cone".

It's a traffic cone.
A pylon is one of those big metal thingies that holds up the electricity wires.
From dictionary.com:
py·lon ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pln)
n.
A steel tower supporting high-tension wires.
A tower marking a turning point in a race among aircraft.
A large structure or group of structures marking an entrance or approach.
A monumental gateway in the form of a pair of truncated pyramids serving as the entrance to an ancient Egyptian temple.
Nowhere does it mention them being little orange cones
