Barrier panels are physical devices used to restrict access to areas for both temporary and permanent applications. They can be made of plastic or metal and are often combined with traffic cones. They are easily identifiable by their coloring or signage and are used to prevent people from entering restricted areas. They are also used in temporary applications, such as redirecting traffic around a construction site or emergency site.
A barrier card is a physical device used to restrict access to an area. It can be used in place of or in addition to protectors, tire studs or other devices. Barrier panels can be used for both temporary and permanent applications and different types are used to control access or pedestrians, cars or other vehicles. Typically, a barrier panel more closely resembles a fence than the cinder block barricades used in road construction. In different regions, these boards are also known as council barricades, work barricades or security barricades.
The material and design of a barrier panel must be tailored to the needs of each application. Many are made of durable plastic, although metal barricades can be used for long-term or vehicle applications. Some are simply made up of temporary frames and boards built from wood lumber, while others are prefabricated. Barrier panels can be combined with traffic cones to make them more visible or to more effectively redirect traffic. They are often equipped with weights or sandbags to hold them in place and prevent them from falling over due to weather or vandalism.
A barrier panel is most effective when it is easily identifiable by its coloring or signage. Black and yellow stripes or red and white striped patterns are easily identifiable in many parts of the world as a sign that access is not permitted. Others may be equipped with signs, such as graphics or “Do not enter” statements. Barrier panels can be painted, coated with reflective materials or well lit to ensure they are easy to see for pedestrians or drivers.
Barrier panels are used in permanent environments around official government buildings. In these applications they are often accompanied by a security guard, who limits access to those who do not surrender at the stand. These cards prevent people from entering restricted areas, such as those designed for officials who work in the building, and make it easier for guards to keep the site safe.
These barricades are also used in temporary applications, such as redirecting traffic around a construction site or emergency site. For example, the police may place a barrier on the entrance ramps of a highway that has been closed due to extreme weather conditions or a mudslide. These boards also serve as effective tools for redirecting traffic or people during a special event, such as a parade or street fair. An attendant can be positioned near the barricade to help indicate a safe route around the event and to ensure pedestrians or vehicles do not attempt to enter an unsafe area.
