It turned out to be a small dumpster that had probably fallen off the lorry transporting it. They must have thought that leaving it on the highway would pose a hazard to all highway users, especially motorcyclists. They could have left it for the highway patrol team to remove but they didn’t, as they realised the immediate danger it posed to road users. Plastic emergency cones lying on the highway are hazardous to road users so just imagine what danger an object like a dumpster would pose. It was fortunate that it was early morning and the dumpster was visible to highway users from a great distance.
