Sturdy, MUTCD-Compliant Type 3 Barricades for Advanced Traffic Control


When it comes to long-term projects, road closures, and enhanced traffic guidance, Type 3 Barricades are a dependable solution. These barricades are designed to meet the guidelines set forth by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), ensuring that their construction, reflectivity, and placement specifications adhere to nationally recognized standards.

The durable frame and large reflective panels of Type 3 Barricades provide increased visibility both day and night. Their robust construction helps ensure that they remain upright and effective despite exposure to harsh weather, frequent impacts, and heavy traffic conditions. With the multi-panel design, these barricades can be used to mark off closed lanes, create detours, or restrict access to sensitive areas.

By choosing MUTCD-compliant Type 3 Barricades, you invest in equipment that improves roadway safety, enhances compliance with local and national regulations, and streamlines traffic control operations.

What is a Type III Barricade?
A Type III barricade is a traffic control device used to safely divert, slow down, or restrict access to roads and work zones. According to MUTCD standards, Type III barricades must feature three horizontal reflective panels on each side, mounted on a sturdy frame. These panels typically have alternating orange and white stripes, ensuring high visibility both day and night.

Type III barricades are commonly employed for longer-term projects, full road closures, and situations requiring a more substantial barrier than Type I or Type II barricades. Their heavier construction and increased reflective surface area make them particularly effective for guiding motorists through detours, communicating closed lanes, or protecting work crews.
