Where can I get 20 road pins? (I'd rather borrow than buy as it's for one day) ...
Any contractors' hire shop.

Blinking heck! I hadn't thought of hire. It's 101 quid to hire 20 of them for one day! Think it was only £30 to buy some!
I had to look that up, didn't know what they were. They look like the Greek letter Mu, or is it only people of superior intelligence that see that?
£0.45 each per week (as fencing pins) from these people:
From £0.65 each from the manufacturer, although I don't know if they have a minimum order value:

That saves me looking them up!
I didn't know what they were called until the other day! But yes they look like Mu. :)
The delivery is pricey but we might be driving sort of past them in the near future ...
I looked them up, but I'm no wiser as to what they're for.
My search came up with
For fixing tape to so people can't get past... Cheap fencing in effect
Ok fencing pins...
Weave them through plastic mesh fencing and hook the top row of mesh over the U shape, which stops it falling down, then drive the pin into the ground to make a temporary fence.

Judging from some roadworks going on near here, they all seem to have to have plastic mushroom heads fitted on them, presumably so you don't end up stabbing someone who falls onto the end of one.
Knitted cosies aren't going to cut it are they?
Ahhh, pigstail pins.
For some reason, the one I looked up omitted the "U".
AIUI if the site doesn't refer to VAT then by law its included.
Not that simple a non-VAT registered trader would have no reason to refer to VAT but also can't provide a VAT invoice or include it.
That's because those ones are forged ;-)
