Safety and traffic barriers manage vehicle and pedestrian traffic around events, construction sites, and road closures across Canada. From plastic A-frame barricades for road closures to water-filled jersey barriers for vehicle mitigation, these products keep people safe by creating clear physical separation between traffic and pedestrian zones.
Why Traffic Barriers for Events
Every outdoor event that interacts with public roads requires traffic management. Whether you are closing a street for a parade, managing parking at a festival, or protecting an outdoor market from vehicle intrusion, CSA-approved traffic barriers are required by municipal permit conditions. Using non-compliant barriers can result in permit revocation and personal liability for the event organizer.
Common applications include:
- •Street closures for parades, marathons, and community festivals
- •Vehicle mitigation perimeters at outdoor concerts and markets
- •Parking management at arenas, stadiums, and fairgrounds
- •Construction zone separation between active work and pedestrian areas
- •Detour routing with channelization drums and delineators
- •Emergency vehicle access lanes maintained through event footprints
Product Range
Plastic A-Frame Barricades
The workhorse of road closures. Lightweight, stackable, and high-visibility orange with reflective diamond-grade sheeting. Available with or without flashing lights. Type I, II, and III configurations per Canadian traffic manual standards.
Water/Sand-Filled Jersey Barriers
Heavy-duty vehicle mitigation barriers weighing up to 2,000 lbs when filled. Used to protect event perimeters from vehicle intrusion — a critical security measure since the adoption of hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) requirements at major Canadian events. No anchoring needed — the water or sand weight provides stability.
Traffic Cones
Available in 18-inch, 28-inch, and 36-inch heights with reflective collars meeting Canadian highway standards. The 28-inch cone is the most common for event use, providing good visibility without being a tripping hazard.
Delineator Posts
Flexible, spring-back design for lane guidance. Hit-and-spring-back construction means vehicles that contact the delineator do not destroy it — it returns to upright position, maintaining lane guidance.
Traffic Drums
High-visibility channelization devices with alternating orange and white reflective stripes. Used at road closure entry points and detour routes per municipal traffic management plan requirements.
CSA Compliance
Models carrying CSA approval meet the requirements of the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) standards and provincial highway traffic acts. When your municipal event permit specifies "approved traffic control devices," CSA-certified products satisfy that requirement.
