Concrete barriers are used for excavations over 1m deep or near rigid objects to block vehicles. Plastic barriers are used for shallower excavations or as channelizers with 1m clearance, using concrete barriers if depth is over 1m. Blinkers are placed on barriers every 30m along works, and every 10m on excavation and signage. String delineators supplement channelizers to guide vehicles. Warning lamps, floodlights, flagmen and temporary signage with fluorescent sheeting are also traffic control devices used for illumination, directing, and warning road users of works.
