Temporary traffic marker (4)

I believe the answer is:

cone

(Other definitions for cone that I've seen before include "Ice-cream cornet" , "Tapered object" , "Road works marker" , "Something dropped from tree" , "Hollow object associated with ice cream and motorways" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Mirror.
