Are the safety cones really safe for the bridge users?

The scheduled maintenance works on the slow and emergency lanes of Penang Bridge has begun and is expected to last at least a year for its completion. As expected, traffic is slow during peak hours. Barricades and safety cones have been placed along the affected lanes especially at the middle span of the bridge to facilitate the work of maintenance carried out.

I am the regular commuters of the Penang Bridge and for the past weeks while crossing the bridge, I have noticed that many safety cones are being placed at the affected work site. A question on the safety to the bridge users has been raised by many bridge users with the placement of safety cones since the scheduled maintenance work started. Are the safety cones easily blown and flown away during bad weathers of strong winds and heavy rains and endanger the safety of bridge commuters?

Since the commencement of maintenance work begins, there is a noticeable show of patience by bridge users as well as commendable control of traffic flow by the Bridge authority. However, to many bridge users, they want to know if the safety cones are really safe during bad weathers.
