Barricades & Barricade Companies
If your activity requires barricades, please refer to our Barricade Company List.
These companies can be hired to coordinate traffic, rent individual barricades, and section off roads, sidewalk, and public paths for your activity in question.
Please note any activity altering or interfering right-of-way traffic (be it pedestrian or vehicular,) must be properly barricaded by certified individuals. If you aren't sure what type of barricading your activity requires, please contact our office.
