The general three types of traffic barricades are; type I, type II, and type III which serve similar functions of safety-related purposes such as crowd control, excavation, construction, e.t.c, but have distinct purposes and features designed for a particular work.
Type I traffic barricades are also known as waffle-board barriers because of their foldable nature, and are characterized with only one reflective panel made of wood or plastic, which is sometimes supported by a manual addition of a second non-reflective rail to provide more balance and support. The general nature of a Type I traffic barricade is that they are intended to collapse easily to prevent harm to pedestrians and vehicles. One advantage of this type of traffic barricade is that they can be transported, mounted, and taken down quickly because of their stackable nature. They are recommended for low-speed lanes and can also be easily stored since they do not occupy a large amount of floor space.
Type II traffic barricades are similar to type I. They can also be folded flat are lightweight, and collapse easily. The difference between Type II from Type I is that Type II has two reflective panels or rails which provide brightness for enhanced visibility at night unlike the type I barricades, and they do not impact much if they come in contact with vehicles or pedestrians. This distinguishing feature makes them recommendable to be used for highways and expressways.
Type III traffic barricades have more high-performing and prominent attributes. They have three reflective panels as the name suggests and come with flashing lights. They are heavier and larger and are usually used for major roadblocks because of their huge visibility and size. They are made up of steel, plastic or wood.
Traffic barricades are used to control crowds, diverting, or redirecting drivers. The general and combinative advantage of all three types of traffic barricades is to create a safe environment with less tendency of incidents of injuries or accidents.
