Options on Traffic Barricades
There are many options when buying traffic barricades, such as the reflective tape, size of the barricade, what it’s made out of, and the number of panels. Reflective tape can be either Engineer Grade, Diamond Grade, or Hi Intensity. The size of the barricade will depend on whether you want a type 1, type 2, or type 3 barricade.
The type 3 barricade is usually around 8 feet wide, the type 1 and type 2 barricades are around 3 feet wide. The barricades are commonly made out of plywood with steel legs or plastic. The type of reflective tape depends on the job you are using it for.
Traffic Barricades, Type 1 2 and 3
What are traffic barricades? A traffic barricade is a type 1, type 2, or type 3 barricade that obstructs or directs traffic in a certain direction. Type III or type 3 barricades have 3 panels going across the barricade horizontally, usually between 4 and 10 feet wide. A type II or type 2 barricade has 3 panels going across the barricade horizontally, and is only about 1-2 feet wide.
A type I or type 1 barricade looks similar in terms of width to the type II barricade, but it has 1 panel instead of 2 going across horizontally. Barricades can be made out of plastic, out of plywood, and parts can be made out of steel. Usually the panels are plywood or plastic and the upright poles that hold it up are steel.
