The Type II barricade is a versatile and highly effective solution for directing traffic or marking hazardous areas. With two reflective panels, this barricade provides improved visibility compared to the Type I barricade, making it suitable for moderate to high-traffic zones. Constructed from durable materials like high-density plastic or steel, it can withstand environmental challenges such as rain, wind, and UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting use.
The barricade’s stable base prevents tipping, and it can be weighted further for use in areas with high winds or traffic speeds. Designed for portability, the Type II barricade is lightweight and foldable, making it easy to transport and store. Its reflective panels meet MUTCD guidelines, ensuring compliance with safety standards for optimal performance in guiding traffic.

Different color cones serve various purposes in traffic and safety management. For example, orange traffic cones are typically used for road construction or to indicate hazards, while blue road cones may mark parking spaces for disabled individuals.
The lifespan of a traffic cone can vary based on its material and usage conditions. Generally, at OPTsigns, high-quality PVC traffic cones can last several months to 2 years , especially if they are UV resistant and stored properly. Regular maintenance can extend their lifespan further.
The weight of a road cone depends on its height. For example, at OPTsigns, a 300 mm plastic cone weighs approximately 0.55 kgs, while a 900 mm cone weighs around 4.4 kgs. Heavier cones provide more stability, which is crucial for safety in various environments.
Green traffic cones are often used to denote specific areas, such as safe zones or temporary pedestrian pathways. They can also indicate environmental initiatives or construction zones related to landscaping and eco-friendly projects.
Safety green cones are used primarily for guiding traffic in safe zones, while safety orange cones signal caution or hazards, often in road construction. The choice between them helps convey the intended message to drivers and pedestrians effectively
