Bold, reliable, and built for high-visibility safety in any work zone, event venue

Large events require clarity, stability, and fast deployment. The Flex-Safe® FS-BN3 84-Inch Blue Folding Barricade is engineered for high-traffic venues where organizers must guide guests, protect staff, and establish clear movement lanes without relying on heavy metal barriers.

The 84-inch width offers nearly 7 feet of coverage per barricade, meaning fewer units are needed to create strong, continuous boundaries for:

Concert security perimeters
Festival entry and exit zones
Campus events and public celebrations
Parades and community gatherings
Emergency access corridors
Sports events and directional routing

Its distinctive blue color works exceptionally well in event environments—noticeable but not harsh—providing a professional, modern appearance that blends safety with a polished guest experience.

Designed for Real-World Event Pressure

The FS-BN3 is built to perform under demanding conditions common at high-attendance events:

High-impact polymer withstands constant movement, transport, and weather exposure.
A-frame stability improves performance in outdoor environments, including wind or uneven ground.
Reflective safety strips enhance visibility during nighttime concerts or early-morning races.

This combination gives event teams a tool that is both audience-friendly and safety-compliant.

MUTCD-Aligned & FHWA-Approved Structural Design

When events overlap with roads, parking areas, or pedestrian detours, compliance matters.
The FS-BN3 follows seveeral MUTCD guidance for temporary pedestrian traffic control and uses a FHWA-approved structural design, making it suitable for municipal deployments, public agencies, and private-sector event contracts.

Connects for Long, Stable Barrier Lines

Multiple FS-BN3 units can be linked together to form extended safety boundaries.
Ideal for:

Marathon routes
Barrier corridors at large festivals
VIP or restricted zones
Emergency lanes for first responders

Linked barricades reduce gaps, minimize line breakage, and improve crowd flow.

Tool-Free Sign Mounting for Rapid Changes

Event needs change by the hour.
The Flex-Safe® sign mounting channel lets you attach and change signage in seconds:

“Event Entrance”
“Exit →”
“Staff Only”
“No Entry”
MUTCD-standard signs

No tools. No hardware. No delays.
