You’ll be glad to know that we’re ready to serve your needs with a full spectrum of directional traffic control barricades for a variety of situations. One of the most frequently utilized types in our lineup offers clear visual signals to motorists. This group consists of Type I barricades, Type II barricades, and Type III barricades.

Types of Barricades for Temporary Traffic Control

A Type I barricade is an A-frame device with a reflective rail, typically used in ‘light traffic’ situations such as parking lots. When greater visibility is required to maintain temporary traffic control, we typically deploy a Type II, which features two reflective rails on an A frame. While these two cover many situations, the Type III barricade is a major step up in our selection of directional traffic control barricades. Much larger and significantly more visible than the other two, this barrier effectively blocks traffic as it re-directs motorists to designated routes.

This, of course, is just one group of options available through our traffic barricade rental program. As they say, the list goes on and on because effective traffic management relies on many other devices. We’re pleased to say, we have them all in stock. In this group, the most compact unquestionably are traffic cones. You wouldn’t know it to look at them, but these barriers offer big advantages. This biggest one, of course, is portability. Cones can be moved and stored with ease, reducing setup times back aches tremendously. Despite their small dimensions, however, these devices are highly visible thanks to their flashy fluorescent coloring.

Temporary Traffic Control Barrels

Larger than cones, traffic barrels offer their own advantages. Generally, we deploy these barriers when a situation demands more visibility and strength than the smaller barricades. Like cones, barrels gleam with a bright, reflective coloring, which is magnified by their much larger surface areas. This feature makes them unmistakably visible from greater distances, providing needed early alerts to motorists. Complementing their visibility is substantial stability, which helps keep barrels upright and positioned against howling winds. Typically, we utilize barrels in construction zones or areas blocked off by road closures.

Motorists aren’t the only people protected by our directional barricades. Pedestrians get their own fair share of protection from our extensive selection of crosswalk barricades. As the term implies, these barriers are deployed at crosswalks to enhance the safety of foot travelers. Going a step further than cones and barrels, crosswalk barricades often beef up their protective powers with clear verbal directions such as ‘Stop’ and ‘Yield’. As you might expect, Roadway Construction Service offers an impressive selection of these barriers, including rebound-able barricades (offering high flexibility) and break-away barricades. Naturally, we also deploy a generous amount of A-Frame barricades, which often are used to mark off boundaries at public events such as parades or to redirect sidewalk travelers.

Water Filled Barriers for Traffic Control

Many factors contribute to a barrier’s overall effectiveness. One of these factors is structure. Water filled barriers offer an excellent example of how unique structuring can affect performance. Available in a variety of types and sizes, these barricades are hollow plastic devices filled with water to provide strength and resilience. Because of this structuring, the barriers are highly energy absorbent. As with all our other supplies and equipment, Roadway Construction Service has the full range in its inventory, from channelizers to water filled Jersey barriers.

Along with energy absorption capabilities, water filled barriers offer many other advantages. Among these is portability, which is assured by their lightweight plastic construction. This portability is complemented by visibility, a quality provided by the bright orange or yellow coloring that characterizes these devices. Day or night, they easily can be seen by motorists and pedestrians. As a further benefit to motorists, the larger water-filled barricades feature interlocking modules, which allows the creation of a continuous, easily identified boundary wherever deployed.

Lane Closure Channelizers

Another example of the many portable barrier solutions we offer are vertical panels. As the name implies, these are upright channelizers at least two feet high with one distinguishing feature – their slimness. Thanks to this characteristic, these panels can fit into prohibitively narrow spaces such as space-restricted work zones. Typically, we deploy these barriers to designate separation between traffic lanes or to help control traffic in the vicinity of lane closures. As with virtually all our barricades, their visibility is enhanced by design and coloration factors. In this case, bright orange and white striping.

Attenuator Installation Service

Among our more uniquely named traffic control barriers are the Big Sandy Impact Attenuators. These are barrel shaped devices positioned in a continuous wall to establish clear boundaries between motorists and restricted areas, typically work zones. Known for their elite energy absorption capabilities, these are no lightweights. The largest of these attenuators can weigh about 2,100 lbs. The medium-size barrel, by the way, is a mere 1,400 lbs.

No matter what type of barricades or other equipment we deploy, our company must obtain encroachment permits to carry out any assigned project. Essentially the permits are municipal authorizations that allow the occupation of public right of way areas for the purpose of performing necessary work. Never a problem for Roadway Construction Service. We have a skilled team with the knowledge and long-term professional relationships to obtain quick approvals for virtually every project. Delays are unheard of.

Maximum Protection for Crews, Motorists, and Pedestrians

With many resources at our disposal, Roadway Construction Service can cover a wide range of projects. All of these, of course, have one thing in common – MUTCD compliance. This means we adhere to the rigorous uniform national standards established by the Federal Highway Administration. This is the ultimate assurance of optimal safety and maximum protection for crews, motorists, and pedestrians.
