Traffic Barricades

Traffic barricades are commonly used to block off entire roads or sections of highways.  If you encounter a section of a highway that is under construction, and an off ramp needs to be blocked, it is usually blocked completely across with type 3 barricades.  Sometimes theses type III barricades have blinking lights on them so that people can see them at night as well.

Where are type 2 barricades used?  Type II barricades are commonly found in small towns and villages blocking a pot hole or small construction project.  Type 1 barricades are the same way, they are usually found in smaller populated areas where the construction isn’t as heavy.
