The Orange Barricade Built for Serious Work
Need a barricade that drivers notice instantly? The Flex-Safe® 84-Inch Orange Barricade delivers unmatched visibility and professional reliability when safety is on the line.
This model is trusted by contractors, traffic control crews, event managers, public works departments, police officers, and emergency responders nationwide.
Benefit: You get a full-size barricade that stands out in busy work zones and on fast-moving roadways—helping your team protect workers, guide pedestrians, and control crowds with confidence.
Construction sites and roadway environments change by the hour. You need safety gear that keeps up. That’s why the Flex-Safe® system was engineered for quick deployment, all-weather durability, and full compliance with national traffic control standards.
High-Visibility Orange for Maximum Attention
The blazing bright orange color makes this barricade highly visible in heavy traffic, low-light conditions, fog, or rain. Drivers and pedestrians can spot it long before they reach the work area.
The sturdy A-frame construction keeps it stable on uneven ground, asphalt, gravel, sidewalks, and event surfaces. It’s built for long-term, everyday use around:
-
Road construction
-
Utility work
-
Lane closures
-
Pedestrian routing
-
Emergency response
-
Special events
-
Parking lot control
Because it meets MUTCD requirements and uses an FHWA-approved structural design, it is road-ready, compliant, and trusted by safety professionals.
Tough Enough for Construction — Fast Enough for Emergency Scenes
This barricade is engineered for both planned and unplanned deployments. One person can set it up in seconds. It unfolds smoothly and locks into place without tools or complicated hardware.
When the job moves, the FS-BN2 folds flat and stacks easily. It saves space in work trucks, police vehicles, event trailers, and storage rooms.
The 84-inch width makes it an excellent choice for larger scenes where maximum coverage and visibility are needed.
Connect, Extend, and Secure Your Barriers
Every Flex-Safe® barricade can connect to other units, helping your team create long, stable safety lines for:
-
Road closures
-
Work zone perimeters
-
Event queues
-
Pedestrian redirection
-
Hazard containment
-
Emergency scene boundaries
This connection system keeps your line from shifting, separating, or blowing apart—something common with older steel or plastic barricades.

-
“Road Closed”
-
“Lane Closed”
