Clear Intent & Essential Safety Controls

There’s no mistaking the intent of a barricade. Everyone who drives up to one is instantly aware that the area ahead is off-limits and no access is permitted. Barricades quickly convey to motorists that it is not allowable to proceed through the blocked area and an alternate route must be taken.

Barricades are an essential traffic control component used to prevent collisions and other accidents in development zones. These barriers help lessen risk to pedestrians, motorists, work crews, and property while improving visibility for the entire work site.

Common Application Areas

  • Construction zones and road work areas
  • School and educational facility parking lots
  • Parking garages and commercial facilities
  • Hotels, resorts, and hospitality venues
  • Gas stations and auto repair facilities
  • Department stores and shopping centers

The orange diagonal stripes on a barricade or vertical panel guide traffic toward the correct pass direction:

Stripes Sloping Down to the Right

Types of Barricades

Different site setups demand distinct barrier solutions. Explore our full range of traffic control barricades tailored for various site constraints:

A-Frame Barricades

Frequently used for construction, traffic security, and crowd control. Available as complete sets or modular components. Boards feature reflective sheeting and legs can be ballasted with sandbags for wind stability.

Type I & II Folding Barricades

Built with durable, impact-resistant plastic legs and oversized panels for optimal visibility. Lightweight and easy to handle, their modular design allows for effortless replacement of individual parts.

Type III Barricades

Constructed with square steel tubing for superior strength during long-term projects. These heavy-duty road barricades feature collapsible frames for fast setup and breakdown.

Crosswalk Barricades

Ideal for urban road projects and busy pedestrian zones. Instructs foot traffic where to cross while alerting motorists to pedestrians. Stackable, weather-resistant polycarbonate panels make transport and storage simple.

Cone Bars

Designed to link with traffic safety cones to instantly create physical perimeters for foot traffic. Made from durable PVC with reflective bands and adjustable expanding lengths.

Jersey Barriers & Channelizer Drums

Solid Jersey barriers provide street-side protection for heavy road construction, while reflective channelizer drums safely guide motorists through lane shifts and temporary detours.

The Legal & Safety Importance of Barricades

As a driver, you should never attempt to bypass a barricade placed anywhere in the roadway. Circumventing traffic control devices is illegal and subject to fines and penalties. More importantly, barriers are deployed to protect drivers from hidden hazards—such as open road cuts, unstable pavement, or active heavy machinery—while safeguarding field crews at work.
