Every successful project begins with safety. Whether you’re managing a street improvement, a new development, or a public event, effective traffic control keeps people moving and crews protected. At The Barricade Company, we’ve spent nearly two decades helping municipalities, government agencies, contractors, and developers create safer work environments through careful planning, clear communication, and the strategic use of barricades.
Visibility is often the first and most important factor in traffic control. Drivers make split-second decisions, and pedestrians rely on clear visual cues to know where it’s safe to go. When work zones aren’t properly marked, confusion follows and that’s when accidents happen.
That’s why every plan we design starts with visibility in mind. Our traffic control teams deploy high-visibility barricades, reflective signage, and advanced lighting systems that meet MUTCD and state standards. Every cone, sign, and barricade is placed intentionally to help drivers and pedestrians navigate work zones with confidence, no matter the time of day or the weather conditions.
Type I and II Barricades are lightweight and easy to handle. They are often used for smaller street closures or short-term maintenance projects that require flexibility and quick setup.
Type III Barricades are stronger and wider, designed for complete road closures or long-term projects where clear communication with drivers is essential.
Water-Filled Barricades are ideal for high-traffic or long-duration projects. They are easy to transport and offer strong impact resistance once filled, making them a reliable option for construction zones and event perimeters.
Pedestrian Barriers play a vital role in maintaining safe, accessible pathways for the public. Our pedestrian barriers help protect walkways and ensure foot traffic can flow safely around construction zones without disruption.
A safe traffic control plan does more than guide vehicles. It ensures accessibility for everyone who needs to navigate the area. That includes maintaining ADA-compliant pathways, preserving emergency access, and allowing continued entry for residents and businesses.
Our team carefully evaluates each project to understand its surroundings, traffic patterns, and community needs. We use pedestrian trench plates and other accessibility solutions to keep sidewalks open and safe. By planning ahead, we help our clients maintain compliance while minimizing disruption.
Every barricade, cone, and sign provided by The Barricade Company meets MUTCD standards and is maintained to perform in demanding conditions. Our certified crews receive ongoing training to stay current with evolving traffic control guidelines and safety requirements.
This dedication to compliance protects the public, safeguards workers, and helps our clients stay on schedule and within budget. From planning to deployment, every step is focused on quality, precision, and safety.
Safety does not end once the barricades are set. Conditions on a job site can change quickly, especially with shifting traffic patterns, weather, or project phases. Regular monitoring ensures every sign, cone, and barrier continues to do its job.
Our crews perform routine checks throughout the project to confirm equipment remains visible, stable, and properly aligned. We make adjustments as needed to respond to real-time changes in road conditions or construction activity. This level of attention helps prevent accidents, reduce downtime, and maintain compliance from start to finish.
