Crowd Control Barricades [Price for 3]

42 x 96 Crowd Control Barricade (Billboard Style)

Brand: Off The Wall Products | SKU: TBAROTWG | Lead Time: 2-3 Business Days

The 42 x 96 crowd control barricade is a full-size plastic pedestrian barricade with a built-in billboard display panel. At 42 inches tall and 96 inches wide, it covers ground fast with fewer units per linear foot. The front face includes a 36 x 28.5 inch display area that accepts custom signs, giving event organizers and project teams the option to post safety messaging or sell advertising space directly on the barrier line.

The base accepts up to 3 gallons of water ballast, adding 25 lbs of stability weight for a filled unit total of 58 lbs. The rotating foot design allows units to lie completely flat for compact stacking during transport and storage, and enables stable placement on uneven or sloped surfaces. Lockable end connections keep the barrier line intact under crowd pressure. An auxiliary hole supports optional ground post securing for higher-security settings.

Available colors: Green, Orange, Royal Blue, Silver, Yellow, Red

What to Know Before You Buy

Sizing and Placement

The 96-inch length means you cover 8 linear feet per unit. For a 100-foot event perimeter you need roughly 13 units. For a construction zone lane closure you are typically looking at a minimum run of 20 to 40 units depending on zone configuration and local traffic control plans. Units connect end-to-end with no tools required; the locking mechanism is hand-operated.

Color Selection

Orange is the standard choice for construction and road work applications because it matches cone and channelizer color conventions and stands out in low-light or high-speed environments. Green and Silver work well for event and venue settings where safety-orange is not required. Royal Blue, Yellow, and Red are commonly used for event branding, festival sections, and crowd routing where color coding is part of the crowd management plan.

Water Ballast vs. Ground Anchor

Filling the base with water is the fastest way to add stability for outdoor events where you cannot drive stakes or use concrete anchors. Empty units weigh 33 lbs and can shift in wind above 20 mph or under sustained crowd pressure. Filled units at 58 lbs hold their position under most normal event and construction site conditions. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, the auxiliary ground post hole accepts a standard post for a fixed-mount solution.

Traffic Control Compliance

Crowd control barricades used in roadway work zones must be deployed in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). For pedestrian channelization in construction zones, Part 6 of the MUTCD governs placement, spacing, and retroreflectivity requirements. Buyers deploying barricades on federal or state roadways should review the current MUTCD standards at mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov before finalizing their traffic control plan. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.200 covers barricade standards for construction site pedestrian protection.
