sufficient visual warning of the hazard during both day and night

 Full height fence, barriers, barricades etc. shall be erected around the site in order to
prevent the working area from the risk of accidents due to vehicular movements. The
barriers are also designed to protect road users from the dangers associated with
general construction operation material handling and temporary structures.

 The structure dimension of the barricade, material and composition, its colour
scheme and other details shall be in accordance with specifications laid down.

can be used interchangeably and more suitable for repair, maintenance and other
temporary works. As these barricades are susceptible to overturning in wind, their
stability can be improved through ballast.

 Type III Barricade:

 This is a permanent type barricade and can be erected at the point of closure when a
road section is closed to traffic for construction works. They may extend completely
across a road way for the entry of construction workmen and vehicle.
