a plurality of T-shaped arms, each T-shaped arm having a connector connected with the ring-shaped member and an elongated head which is wider than the connector in at least one dimension; and

at least one of:

a first hole in said ring-shaped member extending through said ring-shaped member from the top surface to the bottom surface, said first hole being configured to receive a first signaling device; and

a second signaling device which shines light from the top surface or radially from an outer edge of the ring-shaped member.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the connector in each T-shaped arm extends radially from the ring-shaped member, and the elongated head in each T-shaped arm is wider than the connector in a direction which is parallel to a cylindrical axis of said ring-shaped member.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connector in each arm has a first width and extends radially from the ring-shaped member, and the head in each arm has a second width which is greater than the first width.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connector in each arm extends vertically from the ring-shaped member, and the head in each arm is positioned in a groove in a top surface of said ring-shaped member.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises the first hole in said ring-shaped member, said first hole being configured to receive the first signaling device, said first signaling device being a safety flag.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said first hole is configured to receive the first signaling device, said first signaling device being a glow stick or flare.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped member has a planar top surface.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped member has a beveled top surface.

10. A kit, comprising:

at least one apparatus for use with a traffic cone as claimed in claim 1 ;

at least one first signaling device, wherein each first signaling device is configured to be positioned in the first hole of the apparatus of claim 1 ; and

safety tape,

wherein at least one of the arms connected with the ring-shaped member is configured to be connected with the safety tape.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises the second signaling device, said second signaling device being an LED signal light.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the apparatus comprises the first hole in said ring-shaped member, said first hole being configured to receive a safety flag.

13. An apparatus for use with a traffic cone having a conical member with a first diameter at a base of the conical member and a second diameter at a top of the conical member, said apparatus comprising:

a polygonal member with a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of edges; and a hole with a third diameter therethrough, said third diameter being less than the first diameter and greater than the second diameter;

a plurality of arms, each arm having a connector extending from the polygonal member and a head which is wider than the connector in at least one direction, the head having an inner surface connected to the connector and an outer surface; and at least one of:

a first hole in said polygonal member extending through said polygonal member from the top surface to the bottom surface, said first hole being configured to receive a first signaling device; and

a second signaling device which shines light from the top surface of the polygonal member;

wherein the outer surface of the head is planar or convex.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the connector in each arm extends from one of said edges of said polygonal member.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the connector in each arm extends from a vertex of said polygonal member.

16. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the connector in each T-shaped arm extends radially from the ring-shaped member, and the elongated head in each T-shaped arm is wider than the connector in a direction which is perpendicular to a cylindrical axis of said ring-shaped member.
