Crowd Control Barricades, Chicago, IL

It’s human nature to want to get close to the action. Set up a barrier, and spectators will push in as close as they can get to see what’s happening.  Whether you’re planning a small town parade or a major marathon, the necessity for installing temporary barricades to separate participants from spectators cannot be disputed.

Strong Crowd Control Barriers

Crowd control barriers have to be strong and effective in order to protect both the public and the participants in any special event. Bicycle races and fun run/walk events are current favorites for the fund-raising efforts of local charitable organizations. They offer an opportunity for people to experience the excitement of competition and gain a feel-good vibe whether they take part or just spectate. These events are usually combined with other family fun events to engage and entertain a local community. But whether it’s a cross-country bicycle race that winds its way through town, a grueling marathon route or a junior 5K run on a Saturday morning, the public wants to find the perfect vantage point in order to cheer favorites, see the action and welcome the winners. The task of keeping both spectators and participants safe depends on the way race barricades are designed and set up.
