Most Popular Traffic Cones
Though I just started selling traffic cones, I have found rather quickly that the most popular traffic cone is the 28″ and typically weighs around 9 lbs. This may vary from person to person, but it seems to hold true at this point.
When looking for traffic cones, you will notice that a lot of times though a cone may be the same height, it is not the same weight. Manufacturers tend to change up weights depending on what they think their end users want.
Problems with Solar Barricade Lights
If you have a problem with your solar barricade lights, I would suggest you first go to your distributor and then to your manufacturer if the problem is not solved. Sometimes the manufacturer knows more about the product than the distributor.
Another suggestion is to do a quick search on the internet. There is an abundance of resources available on the net so don’t think you won’t find what you are looking for!
Type 3 Barricades On Highway
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.
Type 3 Barricade – What are the Types?
There are a few different types when it comes to a type 3 barricade. You can get it in plastic or plywood, usually. They can also either be a permanent or temporary solution, depending on the job.
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.
