Expert Insights

The sign clip eliminates the need for separate sign posts in work zone configurations where barricades already provide the physical barrier. By mounting MUTCD signs directly on the I-beam barrier rail, you reduce the number of individual devices in the work zone, save setup time, and keep the sign at the optimal height for motorist visibility. The clip is designed exclusively for the I-beam rail profile -- it will not work with economy barrier rails due to their different cross-section shape. For maximum effectiveness, mount the sign on the uppermost rail when using a two-rail barricade configuration, ensuring the sign is at driver eye level. Per MUTCD, sign mounting height on portable supports should place the bottom of the sign at least 1 foot above the road surface. The clip holds standard aluminum signs securely but can shift in high winds -- for highway applications where wind loading is significant, consider additional securing methods. One clip supports one sign; use two clips for extra-wide signs or for added stability in windy environments.

For DOT contractors, construction companies, and utility companies: Barricades and barrier rails are essential traffic control devices for lane closures, detours, and work zone delineation. Our A-frame, folding, and barrier rail options are built to MUTCD standards and engineered for rapid deployment across multiple job sites.

Fleet purchasing and seasonal stocking programs ensure your crews always have compliant barricades on hand. All units meet MUTCD compliance requirements for color, retroreflectivity, and dimensional specifications — keeping your projects in line with federal and state DOT regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this sign clip work with economy barrier rails?

No. The sign clip is designed exclusively for I-beam barrier rails (A44004 through A44012 series). The economy barrier rails have a different cross-section profile that does not accept the clip.

What size signs can the clip hold?

The clip accommodates standard rectangular signs up to 24 inches wide by 18 inches high. This covers most common MUTCD work zone signs including Road Closed (R11-2), Detour (M4-9), and Lane Closed (R9-9).

How many clips do I need per sign?

One clip is typically sufficient for standard-size signs. For extra-wide signs or in high-wind environments, use two clips for added stability and security.

Can I mount a sign and a barricade light on the same barricade?

Yes. Mount the sign clip on the I-beam rail and attach the barricade light to the top of the rail or A-Frame leg. This allows you to combine signage and nighttime warning in a single compact barricade assembly.

Are the signs included with the clip?

No. This product is the mounting clip only. MUTCD-compliant aluminum traffic signs must be purchased separately from a sign supplier.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • ★★★★★

    "We've been running these barricades on DOT projects for over two years now. They hold up to daily abuse from our crews loading and unloading them off trucks, and the powder coat finish still looks sharp. Definitely the best value we've found for the price point."

    — Rick Saunders, DOT Contractor

    ✅ Verified Buyer

  • ★★★★★

    "Setup and teardown is a breeze. My crew can deploy a full line of A-frames in half the time it used to take with our old barricades. The folding mechanism is simple and nothing to jam up."

    — Tony Marchetti, Construction Foreman

    ✅ Verified Buyer

  • ★★★★★

    "The reflective sheeting on these rails is extremely visible at night. Our utility crews work a lot of after-hours emergency jobs and the high-intensity prismatic sheeting gives us confidence that motorists can see the work zone clearly."
