Product Overview

The A-Frame Barricade Leg is a rigid, blow-molded polyethylene Type I barricade leg designed for road construction, utility work, and traffic control applications. Measuring 31"W x 44"H and weighing just 7 lbs, each leg features a built-in ballast compartment for sand or water weighting to prevent tip-overs in windy conditions. The two board-opening slots accept standard 1" x 8" or 2" x 8" nominal lumber as well as plastic economy barrier rails and I-beam barrier rails from 4 to 12 feet in length. Constructed from UV-stabilized, impact-resistant polyethylene, these barricade legs withstand repeated vehicle strikes and harsh outdoor exposure without cracking or fading. Helps you stay compliant with MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) standards for Type I barricades used in roadway channelization. Sold individually.

Expert Insights

When selecting A-Frame barricade legs, consider the rail length needed for your lane closure or channelization application. For standard two-lane road closures, 6-foot or 8-foot rails are most common. For wider multi-lane setups, 10-foot or 12-foot rails provide better visibility. Always fill the ballast compartment -- use sand (approximately 40 lbs) for permanent installations or water for temporary setups that require frequent relocation. Per MUTCD Section 6F.63, Type I barricades are intended for use on conventional roads where traffic is maintained through the work zone. Position barricade legs at intervals specified by your traffic control plan, typically 20 to 50 feet apart depending on speed zone. For nighttime operations, pair with MUTCD-compliant barricade lights (Type A steady-burn for channelization, Type C low-intensity flashing for warning). The orange-and-white striped reflective sheeting on the barrier rails provides daytime and nighttime visibility per OSHA 1926.202 requirements for traffic control signaling.
