Traffic Barrels for Road Construction & Work Zones
Traffic barrels, often called traffic drums or construction barrels, are highly visible channelizing devices used to direct motorists through road construction, lane closures, utility projects and temporary traffic control areas.
Their larger size makes them easier for drivers to see than standard traffic cones, particularly on roadways, nighttime projects and longer-duration work zones.
Byrd Traffic Supply provides traffic barrels and related traffic control equipment for contractors, municipalities, road crews, traffic control companies and commercial facilities.

Traffic Barrels vs Traffic Cones
Traffic cones are convenient for short-term traffic control, parking areas and lower-speed applications. Traffic barrels provide a larger, more visible channelizing device and are commonly selected for roadway construction and longer-duration traffic control projects.
The right choice depends on the roadway, project duration, traffic speed and traffic-control plan.
