Choosing the Right Barricades for Your Event: A Renter’s Guide

Choosing the Right Barricades for Your Event: A Renter’s Guide

At All American Barricades, we’ve spent years helping South Florida businesses, public event planners, and construction teams keep their projects safe and compliant. Whether you’re managing a 5K run in Miami, a construction zone in Fort Lauderdale, or crowd control in Palm Beach, the right barricades make all the difference. Here’s how to choose the best solution for your needs.

Why Barricade Selection Matters

Not all barricades are created equal. The wrong choice can lead to safety risks, fines, or event delays. As a trusted South Florida barricade company, we’ve seen firsthand how the right setup protects workers, pedestrians, and drivers—while keeping your project on track.

 

Types of Barricades & Their Best Uses

 

1. Type II & Type III

Ideal for: Traffic control, construction sites, short-term events.

Lightweight yet durable, these are a go-to for roadwork in Miami-Dade County or temporary detours. Their bright orange color and reflective stripes ensure high visibility day or night.

2. Crowd Control "French" Barricades

Ideal for: High-security needs, long-term construction, heavy crowd control.

Used for major events in where access and crowd control is needed. They’re also stackable for easy storage—a perk our clients love.

3. Water Barriers

Ideal for: Public events, festivals, or areas with high wind (like Fort Lauderdale’s and Miami's beachside).

These barricades stay put when filled with water, making them perfect for marathons along A1A or outdoor concerts where stability is key.

4. Pedestrian Barricades

Ideal for: Crowd management at parades, festivals, or retail lines (think Art Basel in Miami).

Lightweight and easy to deploy, they create orderly queues without blocking visibility.

 

Key Factors to Consider

 

Durability

South Florida’s sun and storms demand weather-resistant materials. Our barricades are UV-treated to withstand Broward County’s harsh summers.

Visibility

Reflective strips and bright colors are non-negotiable—especially for nighttime roadwork in Boca Raton.

Regulatory Compliance

Florida DOT and OSHA have strict rules. We ensure your setup meets all guidelines, so you avoid fines.
