Feet Type 3 Barricades
One may think that you would just buy a type 3 barricade and stand it up. It isn’t as easy as that, because type 3 barricades have the option of coming with feet or not coming with feet. Why would someone buy a type 3 barricade without feet?
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.
Type 3 Barricade Reflective Tape
The reflective sheeting or reflective tape options for a type 3 barricade depends on a couple things. If you are buying the traffic barricades ready made (meaning coming with the reflective tape you need) from the manufacturer or distributor, you want to look out for the grades of sheeting. Engineer Grade is the most common, this grade is the least expensive.
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.
Type 3 Barricades Price Range
Price for anything does and always will depend on the brand, but for type 3 barricades this seems more true than ever. I have seen differences in prices as much as 40% between brand for different type 3 barricades.
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?
Recently, on my campus I noticed a lot of type 3 barricades. I knew they were type 3 because of the fact that there were 3 boards, but they were not as wide as I expected. They may have been around 4 feet wide, while I am used to seeing type 3 barricades that are 6-10 feet wide.
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.
Type 3 Barricade Origination
Where did the type 3 barricade come from? Well, there isn’t much information about when type 3 barricades were invented, but one would think that they were invented a few years after roadways were invented. Logically, after a few years of the road being invented one would think the traffic barricade would be invented.
Most likely the first barricade would be the type 1 barricade, because it is the most simple. The origination of many traffic barricade products is probably not known but it would be interesting to research,
