Type 3 Barricade Features
There are many different features that can come on your type 3 barricade. For example, did you know you can usually pick a 14 or 12 guage foot on the legs of your traffic barricade? Well, you probably didn’t, and you probably don’t know what that is.
12 guage just means the leg is slightly thinner than the 14 guage. The legs on type 3 barricades are typically steel, so deciding the guage is a way of deciding how tough you want the legs to be. This is just one of many options that are out there when looking for traffic barricades.
Type 3 Barricades and their names
It is really interesting to see what people search for, and that is what I did today, I saw how people searched for the term type 3 barricades. What is interesting is that there are more searches for type iii barricade (type III barricade) than type 3 barricade. In fact there were double the amount of searches.
Something else that was interesting was that the category underneath type 3 barricades – traffic barricades – was searched less than half of the time. This doesn’t make any sense at first, but if you think about it it is probably just because those who are searching for these types of items are detailed in their searches because they know what they are talking about.
