What is a type 1 barricade?

A Type 1 barricade is a traffic control device used to warn or direct traffic in temporary work zones, road closures, or construction areas. It features a single reflective panel (usually orange or white) mounted on a lightweight frame. Type 1 barricades are designed for low to moderate traffic areas and are often used for shorter-term applications.

What are the 3 types of warning barricades?

Type I Barricade Design: A lightweight, foldable barricade with one reflective panel, suitable for low-traffic areas. Application: Often used in urban or short-term construction zones. Type II Barricade Design: A larger, more robust barricade with two reflective panels, providing greater visibility. Application: Commonly used for moderate traffic control in construction sites and road work. Type III Barricade Design: The largest barricade, typically with three reflective panels, providing maximum visibility. Application: Used in high-traffic areas or hazardous zones where maximum warning is needed.

What is the OSHA standard for barricade?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets standards for barricades used in construction and industrial settings to ensure worker safety. OSHA standards for barricades are outlined in 29 CFR 1926.200 and state that: Barricades must be visible and clearly mark hazards to prevent accidents or unauthorized access. The barricade must have high-visibility materials, such as reflective sheeting, and be designed to withstand environmental conditions. Barricades must be stable enough to remain upright and prevent injury if struck by vehicles or equipment. OSHA regulations require that warning barricades are properly maintained and positioned to protect both workers and the public.

Can Type I barricades withstand windy conditions?

While stable under normal conditions, sandbags or weights can be added for extra stability in windy environments.
