Reflective Tape – a pricey option

When choosing how much reflective tape you want on your traffic barricades or your traffic cones, think about the cost it will add.  One side of a type III traffic barricade versus two can add at least $20, depending on where you buy it from.  Of course, we shouldn’t overlook the advantages of having tape on both sides.

For example, lets say you are closing down a road on both sides, but don’t have enough barricades to close both ends of the road.   If the road is small, put a few cones on both ends, then stick 3 barricades in the middle between the two roads, with road closed signs.  People should get the point.  Of course, if you have the money, it is always safer to use as much blockage as possible to not cause any accidents.
