Type I, II and III traffic barricades control traffic flow and protect people, but their distinctions can be confusing. To help you choose the right traffic barrier, we created this printable guide exploring three top barricade types.
Thanks to 95TSS’s MUTCD-compliant traffic barricade line-up, you can boost work zone visibility and call out hazards before accidents happen. With multiple lengths and sheeting options, we have traffic barriers for every application.
Since Type I barricades include just one reflective panel with alternating orange and white stripes, daylight use is recommended. Affordable and easy to install for light-traffic zones, these folding barriers collapse upon impact to minimize vehicle and surface damage.
Often used by striping companies, Type I barricades are mainly for closing sidewalks and private parking lots. Other applications include:
- Utility & maintenance operations
- Foot traffic direction
- Event & queue management
Ideal for sidewalks and country roads, Type II barricades have two retroreflective rails with alternating orange and white stripes. Highly visible in low-light conditions, Type II barriers fold open and collapse with impact to minimize collision damage.
This durable crowd and traffic control tool is perfect for busy jobsites, large events, airports and parking lots. Applications include:
- Trench & hazard demarcation
- Event & concert crowd control
- Parking lot regulation
- Sidewalk closure
Unlike Type I and II barriers, Type III barricades do not fold. These long barriers (up to 8 feet) are built to stop traffic and consist of two vertical posts with three striped reflective panels for peak visibility. Type III barricades may also incorporate signage for added motorist direction.
Large, Type III barricades are highly visible and built for heavy traffic. They may also include signage for added motorist direction. Type III barricades are also used for festivals, mega-events and high-security zones. Applications include:
- Expressway/interstate roadwork & construction
- Major road closures
- Sidewalk closure
- Dignitary/VIP traffic re-routing
- Emergency response management
- Downed power line repairs
