Traffic control is an intricate process with many moving parts working in unison to keep the roads safe and orderly. Among these parts are the various barricades intended to prevent encroachments into restricted areas. While these barriers are deployed in many situations, they’re particularly necessary for street closures. In fact, barricades and street closures go hand in hand. Of course, you need the right provider to get these two elements working together properly. If you’re in mostly sunny Southern California, that right provider no doubt is Roadway Construction Service.

Traffic Barricades for Traffic Management
Whether we’re setting up road closures or providing any other services, it’s important to select the proper traffic barricades for traffic management. That’s where our knowledge and experience play a major role. At Roadway Construction Service, we understand the many variables affecting barrier selection, allowing us to pick the right equipment with pinpoint accuracy. For instance, we must give through consideration to the time factor. Is the project long term, short term, or somewhere in the middle? Knowing the duration enables our team to pick the proper barricades.
Prominent among the time sensitive traffic control street barricades is k rail. Also known as Jersey barrier, k rail is available in two different forms. The first is made of concrete, a material that gives it a rock-solid, wall like strength. Because of its natural weightiness, deployment requires many hours of setup time – typically with the assistance of a crane. Obviously, we’ll use this barricade for long-duration projects – you don’t want to take it down after only one day.
More suitable for such limited duty is plastic Jersey barrier. These traffic safety barricades consist of lightweight plastic segments that can be carried and set up with comparative ease. No worries about strength. Each segment has an inner chamber, which is filled with water to provide ample sturdiness.
Street Closure Management
When carrying out a traffic control operation such as a street closure, meticulous management is crucial. As with all our other services, street closure management begins with precision traffic control planning. Rest assured, the Roadway Construction Service planning team is the best there is. This very experienced team consists of very capable certified traffic control plan design specialists and civil/traffic engineers. Without question, these are extremely knowledgeable professionals at the helm.
You might say the team’s professional knowledge is twofold. On one side is their in-depth understanding of the municipal codes and regulations governing the implementation of every traffic control project. If your plan isn’t in full compliance with these codes, it doesn’t get approved – period.
Our traffic control planners also have another kind of knowledge – they know what municipal decision makers expect from every plan. Thanks to this advanced information, our team consistently develops strategies in perfect sync with these expectations. Approvals, therefore, are prompt, thereby eliminating costly delays that can hamper a project and drain the budget.
During the planning process, our strategists must select from a wide range of road closure barricades. In many cases, k rail (or Jersey barrier) will be a part of the plan. But, as mentioned above, planners must choose from two types of k rail – concrete for long term closures, or water-filled plastic for short duration.
Other types of barriers may be used as well. For example, a Type 3 barricade often is deployed for road closures, particularly when a detour directs motorists to an alternate route. Consisting of three horizontal reflective panels, this barrier is sturdy, lightweight, and highly visible.
Planners, however, must factor in personnel as well as equipment when working out a traffic control strategy. Key among possible personnel are traffic control flaggers. Communicating with both hand signals and flags, flaggers warn and guide motorists, adding to the layer of safety established by barricades. Strategists must determine the right balance of equipment and flaggers, incorporating both into every plan.
