Type 3 Barricades Replacing Drums?
Driving this past weekend I noticed that there was an immense amount of type 3 barricades. They seemed to be everywhere, in front of arrow boards, next to traffic message boards, and just along the road next to a construction project.
I noticed that a lot of times the type 3 barricades were in spots where the traffic drums usually were. I am not sure if this is a new trend or if it makes it safer?
Type 3 Barricades What’s the Difference?
If one was searching for type 3 barricades they may wonder, what is the difference between these traffic barricades? For example there are type 1 barricades, type 2 barricades and then type 3. There are a couple difference but there is one that is the most obvious.
A type 3 barricade has 3 boards across it, a type 2 has two boards and a type 1 has one board. Type 3 are usually wider than type 1 or two. I also notice that type 3 is commonly used to block off roads.
Type 3 Barricade Problems or Issues
If you have a type 3 barricade that isn’t working, you have a few options on how to get it fixed. Of course it depends on who you got if from and who they got it from (assuming you got it from a distributor). If you got the traffic barricade and it was broken right when you received it, you can usually get this replaced no questions asked.
If you have used the barricade for a little while and then started having issues, the typical way a seller handles it is they take it back to see if the issue was caused by wear and tear. I would suggest first calling the distributor and then second calling the manufacturer.
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.
