Reflective Tape on Everything

It is typically cheaper to buy the reflective tape in rolls, and then cut it yourself, but if you don’t want to cut it yourself the single bands may be a better choice.  Try adding up how many feet or yards are in a roll and then comparing prices to see if it is worth it.

For example, lets say you are closing down a road on both sides, but don’t have enough barricades to close both ends of the road.   If the road is small, put a few cones on both ends, then stick 3 barricades in the middle between the two roads, with road closed signs.  People should get the point.  Of course, if you have the money, it is always safer to use as much blockage as possible to not cause any accidents.
