They should have had signs and cones laid out over that hill and in front of the truck as well, with sign people to control traffic.

It's unfortunate, but most people in society do what is told of them and no more. The workers stated that they only need 1 cone per 10 mph, so that is what they put out, no more no less. Unfortunately, the majority of society has very limited critical thinking skills and do not know how to apply them on a daily basis. Yes, your manual says to lay out a certain number of cones, but obviously you are a hazard for incoming traffic and should be considering geographic and weather conditions.
