Traffic Drum

Traffic Drum

A traffic drum, also known as a traffic barrel or channelizing drum, is a cylindrical traffic control device used to guide and direct traffic in a safe and organized manner. Traffic drums are typically made of durable materials like plastic or rubber and feature a distinctive barrel shape with reflective bands or strips for increased visibility, especially during nighttime or low-light conditions. These drums are usually bright in color, often orange or yellow, to enhance their visibility and alertness to drivers. Traffic drums are commonly used to mark construction zones, lane closures, or other temporary traffic modifications. They are placed strategically along roadways to provide visual guidance and alert drivers to changes in the traffic pattern. The reflective strips on the drum improve visibility and serve as a warning to drivers to exercise caution and maintain a safe distance from the drum. Traffic drums are lightweight, portable, and easy to deploy, making them a versatile and effective tool for temporary traffic control and ensuring the safety of both motorists and road workers.
