What type of traffic volume is a "Type I" barricade intended for?

A "Type I" barricade is specifically designed for low traffic volume areas. These barricades are usually lightweight and portable, making them ideal for situations where traffic flow is not heavy, allowing for easier setup and removal. They provide adequate visual guidance and safety in areas where the expectations for vehicle interaction are minimal.

In contrast, higher traffic volume areas require sturdier barricades to withstand the potential forces from vehicles, which leads to the use of more robust types, such as "Type II" or "Type III" barricades. Therefore, utilizing a Type I barricade in a low traffic environment effectively supports safety without unnecessary complexity or resource allocation.
