type 3 barricade, type 3 barricades, type 2 barricades, type 2 barricade, type 1 barricades, type 1 barricade, traffic barricade, traffic barricadesThere could be many different questions or queries when it comes to buying a type 3 barricade.  Where can they be found?  There are traffic safety stores that are local, but they are usually quite expensive.  Try searching on the internet to find better pricing.

How much do type 3 barricades costs?  It depends on a couple different things, but I would say an average price is around $120.  How wide are they?  They can be between 4 and 10 feet wide, depending on what the supplier offers.

There may be a need to make the barricade permanent.  Maybe it’s blocking a bridge which is going to be out of order indefinitely or something of that nature, but because of this need for it to be permanent the type 3 barricade may not need feet, but need to be mounted to the ground.

HI Intensity Grade is the next one up, and Diamond Grade comes after that.  To get the most bang for your buck, try buying the reflective tape from the manufacturer of the reflective tape, to avoid the markup the middle man puts on the tape.

Though the wage of the workers and the quality of the material may vary, a gap that high is worth buying the cheaper barricade.  Make sure to thoroughly shop around before purchasing anything, there are many companies out there selling these traffic barricades.

Type 3 Barricades or Type 1 Barricades?

At first I thought they were just type 1 barricades because of their width.  A type 1 barricade typically has 1 board while a type 2 has two boards.
