type 3 barricades, traffic barricades, traffic barricade, construction barricade, type 3 barricadeIf 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.

Other options include reflective tape, width of the boards, and which way you want the reflective tape to slant.  Either way, make sure whoever you buy from has the option you are looking for because if they don’t, I am sure you can find another supplier that has that option.

I noticed that a lot of times the type 3 barricades were in spots where the traffic drums usually were.  I am not sure if this is a new trend or if it makes it safer?

The amount of construction I have seen on the road lately is immense.  Whether the jump is because of the American Recovery Project of 2009 or not, I am not sure.  The one thing I know is I have never seen so many type 3 barricades.

There are many variation of traffic barricades that you may see on the road.  You may see construction or plastic barricades, for instance.  Honestly, the only way to know all of them, is to be in the traffic safety industry.
