There are many options when buying traffic barricades, such as the reflective tape, size of the barricade, what it’s made out of, and the number of panels.  Reflective tape can be either Engineer Grade, Diamond Grade, or Hi Intensity.  The size of the barricade will depend on whether you want a type 1, type 2, or type 3 barricade.

The type 3 barricade is usually around 8 feet wide, the type 1 and type 2 barricades are around 3 feet wide.  The barricades are commonly made out of plywood with steel legs or plastic.  The type of reflective tape depends on the job you are using it for.

Many people may not know what reflective tape is exactly, and that is what this post is for.  Reflective tape is used in many different applications, but I am most familiar with how it is used in the construction industry.  It can be found on traffic cones, reflective safety vests, and more.

The idea is that light reflects off the tape and makes it easier for pedestrians to see whatever the tape is on.  Traffic barrels on the side of the highway, traffic cones, traffic barricades, these all commonly have reflective tape.  Remember that there is also different ‘grades’ of reflective tape, such as HI intensity, Diamond Grade, and Engineer Grade.
