Yes. All traffic control devices sold by TCFL are TMUTCD-compliant, which is the standard required for use on Texas work zones and TxDOT highway projects. The TMUTCD (Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) defines the specifications for cones, barricades, delineators, and other channelizing devices used on Texas roads. Products from manufacturers like Cortina Safety Products have been evaluated to meet TxDOT work zone compliance standards.

Both sizes are used on Texas work zones, but the application determines which is appropriate. 28-inch cones are common for parking control, event management, and lower-speed work areas. 42-inch cones are the standard for TxDOT highway projects and high-speed lane closures.

TMUTCD also specifies retroreflective striping for nighttime use: cones 28–36 inches need a 6-inch and 4-inch white band near the top; cones over 36 inches require alternating orange and white reflective stripes. For 42-inch cones left unattended overnight, bases must weigh at least 30 lbs per TMUTCD Part 6 requirements. Our 42-inch highway cones are available with compliant reflective banding and heavy bases for overnight Texas highway use.

Yes, provided the barricade meets TMUTCD and TxDOT Barricade and Construction Standard Sheet requirements for the intended application. TCFL carries Type 1 and Type 3 barricades from manufacturers whose products meet the requirements for Texas work zone use. Type 3 barricades (three-rail) are required for road closures and major lane diversions on TxDOT facilities; Type 1 barricades are suited for short-term and lower-traffic work zones.

If you need help confirming that a specific barricade model is right for your project scope, reach out to our team — we can help you match the right product to the specification.

Yes — we ship to all 254 Texas counties. Orders typically ship within 1–2 business days, and most Texas destinations receive freight within 2–4 days depending on location. We handle both small orders and full pallet or truckload quantities for large-scale projects. Contact us for freight quotes on bulk orders destined for remote West Texas or South Texas locations.

TMUTCD Part 6 specifies the following: cones 28–36 inches tall require a 6-inch wide white band located 3–4 inches from the top, plus an additional 4-inch wide white band approximately 2 inches below the first. Cones over 36 inches require alternating orange and white retroreflective stripes that are 4–6 inches wide, with a minimum of two orange and two white stripes — the top stripe must be orange. Non-reflective gaps between stripes may not exceed 3 inches in width.

TCFL's highway-grade cones are available with compliant banding configurations. If you need to confirm the exact spec for your project, contact our team.

MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) is the crash test standard required by TxDOT for work zone channelizing devices. Products on TxDOT's Compliant Work Zone Traffic Control Device list must at minimum comply with MASH standards for crash performance. TCFL carries products from manufacturers whose barricades, vertical panels, and channelizing devices have been evaluated under MASH criteria.

For specific MASH compliance documentation on a product, contact us and we can connect you with the manufacturer's certification details.
