When required the transporter is used as a wheeled conveyance (16) by which the warning devices (12, 13, 14, 15) may be transported to the places of deployment. The conveyance (16) comprises a frame (17) having wheels (18), handles (19, 20), a cone (12), receiving spigot (21) and containers (22) for the warning devices (14, 15). The conveyance (16) may be turned so that wheels (18) are clear of the ground and the frame (17) is supported by support (23). A warning display board (15) is then mounted on the frame (17) in a visibly prominent position. <IMAGE>
