What are the OSHA and DOT regulations for barriers? What are the visibility and nighttime requirements?

Barrier regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) vary based on the application and location. For highway use, barriers often must meet specific crash-test standards, such as the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). For nighttime visibility, barriers can be equipped with reflective sheeting or warning lights. We recommend consulting your local regulations to ensure compliance.

Which types of barriers separate vehicles, pedestrians, equipment, or all three?

Concrete Jersey barrier rentals and K-rails are primarily used for vehicle traffic control due to their high durability and crash-rated designs. Steel barriers are excellent for pedestrian and crowd control at events or on sidewalks. Plastic water-filled barriers are a versatile choice for delineating both vehicle and pedestrian pathways in work zones, while rubber barriers are effective for asset protection and low-speed traffic control.

Can barriers be moved with changing site conditions?

Yes, all our barriers are designed to be repositioned. Plastic water-filled barriers are lightweight when empty, making them easy to arrange before being filled. Steel barriers are also highly portable and can be linked or moved as needed. Concrete barriers offer a more robust solution and require heavy equipment, such as a forklift with a barrier lifting attachment, to be moved.
