SONCO plastic barricades are ideal for designating pedestrian areas and restricting access to off-limit zones. You will find temporary barriers suited for outdoor grassy areas, sidewalk parade routes, job sites, parking lots, and indoor event spaces. We offer ADA compliant barricades, expandable barricades, colorful options, and multiple sizes so you can select what fits best at your location.
Plastic Traffic Barriers: Portability and Versatility
Plastic barricades are portable, but that does not mean they cannot handle crowd pressure. Manufactured from durable HDPE with interlocking systems and optional weighted bases, these plastic barriers are designed to cordon off spaces at construction sites, parking areas and delineate public areas at street events and festivals.
Expandable Barricades
An expandable accordion style frame lets you adjust the width of your temporary barrier to meet changing on site demands. Once collapsed, the barricade takes up minimal storage space, making it easier to transport and store between uses.
Hi-Vis Temporary Barriers
We offer plastic barricades with reflective tape that extend their usability into low light conditions and traffic facing perimeters, such as roadside projects, parking lots, construction areas and more.
Colored Plastic Barriers
With pedestrian barricades available in up to six colors, it is easy to match them to your event aesthetic or brand color palette, while still guiding foot traffic and defining restricted areas.
Premium Crowd Barriers
White vinyl crowd barrier options blend into upscale environments while still managing pedestrian flow. These plastic barriers are commonly used at venues, hospitality areas, and controlled entry spaces where a more upscale appearance is preferred.
Portable Barricades for Easy Transport and Storage
Plastic barricades are significantly lighter than traditional metal barricades, making them easier to transport, reposition, and store. Many models are stackable, reducing the storage footprint when not in use.
Because plastic barriers are available in multiple colors, reflective configurations, and ADA-compliant designs, they can be used across events, construction sites, and parking environments where portable pedestrian control is needed.
Plastic Barricades FAQs
1. What are plastic barricades used for?
A: Plastic barricades are used to guide pedestrians, restrict access to certain areas, and create temporary perimeters. They are common at events, construction sites, parking lots, festivals, and public gatherings where crowd control or traffic separation is required.
2. Are plastic traffic barriers suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. Most plastic traffic barriers are made from UV-resistant HDPE designed for outdoor environments. Many models also accept weighted bases for added stability in windy conditions.
3. How are plastic barricades different from metal crowd barriers?
A: Plastic barricades are lighter in weight, easier to transport, and often stackable or expandable. While metal crowd barriers are commonly used for heavy duty crowd pressure situations, plastic barriers are ideal for pedestrian guidance, temporary layouts, and events where portability and storage efficiency are priorities.
4. Can plastic barricades be connected together?
A: Many plastic barricades feature interlocking systems that allow multiple units to connect in a continuous line. This makes it easy to create longer crowd barrier runs or adjust layouts as needed.
5. Are there ADA compliant plastic pedestrian barricades?
A: Yes. Some pedestrian barricades are designed to meet ADA accessibility considerations, helping maintain compliant pathways while still guiding foot traffic.
6. Do plastic barricades require ballast or weights?
A: Some plastic barricade models include built in weight systems or allow for optional weighted bases. Other plastic barriers can be filled with water or sand to add extra ballast. Adding weights increases stability in high traffic areas.
