MUTCD Part 6 is the reference point for almost every temporary traffic control setup on a public road in the US. It covers device selection, spacing, taper lengths, and signage sequencing for lane closures, shoulder work, and full closures. Most state DOTs adopt it directly or publish their own supplement on top of it.
The core device set is small: channelizing devices to mark the path (cones or drums), barricades to block or narrow access, and advance warning signs to tell drivers what's coming. A Type II barricade uses two 8" × 24" panels on 14 gauge galvanized legs. That's a light, single-lane-closure device. A Type III barricade adds a third panel and reads as a hard stop, used where the road is fully closed ahead.

Common questions
What is temporary traffic control equipment?
Everything used to set up and run a work zone: channelizing devices (cones, drums), barricades, advance warning signs, and in some setups arrow boards or automated flagger devices. MUTCD Part 6 is the federal reference most state DOTs build their own standards from.
What is the difference between Type I, II, and III barricades?
Type I and Type II barricades use one or two horizontal rails and are for partial closures or channelizing traffic around a smaller hazard. Type III adds a third rail and is wider, built for full road or lane closures where the barricade itself is the primary signal that the road is closed ahead.
Do I need a traffic control plan before I order equipment?
For most public road work, yes, and it usually specifies exact devices, spacing, and taper lengths. If you already have an approved plan, put the device list and quantities in the notes field and we'll quote it as specified. If you don't have one yet, order what you know you need and add to it.
Can I get cones, barricades, and signs on the same order?
Yes. Put everything in one request and we'll quote the full list together, with one delivery, rather than splitting it across vendors.
