"Cones cost to much" so we're going to punish local government if they use to many cones.

Thats such a national solution to rhe problem. Instead of addressing the cause of the high usage they just attack the person with the problem.

What is their beef exactly? That there should be no road repair or that the road repairs should be done without cones?

They think that the distance required by NZTA between cones is to small leading to any construction project overspending on cones.

I can't even imagine the kind of a mindset that would get upset because cones are too close to each other.
