There are many effective ways to use construction barricades and construction barriers. While being made of varying materials, they all serve the same purposes: to protect construction crews and sites, direct traffic flow, control motor and foot traffic, ensure accident prevention and to provide public safety in a wide variety of situations. Traffic control in large parking lots is also a very important use for construction barriers or construction barricades. You’ve probably seen construction barricades used decoratively by many department and retail stores to protect their entrances.

Imagine a crowd leaving an event and not knowing which way to exit. The resulting traffic jam could take hours to undo. Construction barricades and barriers would make the route obvious and safer for all vehicle traffic.
