If driving around the highway this summer, you have a good chance to see some type 3 barricades. It may confuse you though, because sometimes the type 3 barricades are not wide. When I think of type 3 barricades I think of a barricade that is around 8-10 feet wide.
Traffic barricades are the general term, and type 3 barricades are the more specific term, when talking about barricades. Parade barricades are mostly there for pedestrians.
Solar Barricade Lights In Airports
If you see solar barricade lights, that is lights that attach to either a barricade, traffic drum, or airport barricade, and they are in an airport, chances are they are red. It is required by the FAA that these lights are red.
If you are on the road, you will see these lights in yellow most of the time. You may occasionally find them in red or blue, but blue is more common on railroads and like mentioned earlier, red is usually found in airports.
