United Rentals offers several types of barricades to suit various needs. Traffic barricades, such as Type III and A-frame models, are used for road closures and directing vehicles. Crowd control barricades, often called bike rack barricades, are used to guide pedestrian traffic. We also offer specialized solutions, like acoustic barriers, for noise reduction.
For traffic control, MUTCD-compliant Type III or A-frame barricades with high-visibility reflective sheeting are ideal for public roadways. For events, interlocking steel crowd control barricades are effective for creating clear pathways and securing perimeters. Construction sites often require a combination of traffic barricades for road-facing areas and pedestrian barricades to ensure worker safety within the site.
For use on public roads, traffic barricades must comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which dictates their size, shape, color and reflectivity. OSHA requires employers to use barricades to protect employees from worksite hazards. While many of our barricades are MUTCD-compliant, we recommend checking local regulations to ensure you select the right equipment for your project.
