Plastic Crowd Control Barricades for Schools, Stadiums and Events
Plastic crowd control barricades provide schools, universities, stadiums, municipalities and event facilities with a portable, rust-free alternative to traditional galvanized steel barriers.
Boulevard Supply offers MOVIT®, MINIT™ and CROWDCADE™ plastic barricades for temporary pedestrian routes, restricted areas, campus events, athletic facilities, parking operations, property maintenance and construction-related safety applications.
MOVIT® is our featured plastic barricade system for K–12 schools, school districts, colleges, universities, professional sports stadiums, collegiate athletic facilities and other organizations that frequently deploy and recover temporary pedestrian barriers.
Its full-size one-piece construction, molded feet and multiple color options make MOVIT® suitable for locations where conventional galvanized steel may be unnecessarily heavy or too industrial in appearance.
MOVIT® Plastic Crowd Control Barricades
MOVIT® plastic crowd control barricades are full-size, interlocking pedestrian barriers made from recyclable polypropylene. Each barricade measures approximately 78 inches wide by 39 inches high and currently weighs approximately 24 pounds.
The feet are molded directly into the barricade rather than supplied as separate components. There are no loose feet to install, remove, transport or misplace during repeated setup and storage.
Why Schools and Campuses Choose MOVIT®
Schools frequently need temporary barriers that can be moved between arrival areas, athletic facilities, parking lots, assemblies and special events. MOVIT® barricades provide a visible boundary without requiring staff to repeatedly transport heavy steel barricades.
- Elementary and middle schools: Parent pickup areas, bus loading zones, walkways, playground boundaries and temporary closures.
- High schools: Athletic events, graduation ceremonies, parking operations, stadium entrances and student activity areas.
- School districts: A versatile barrier system that can be reassigned among campuses and district facilities.
- Colleges and universities: Campus events, pedestrian routes, residence hall activities, construction detours and athletic facilities.
- Technical and vocational schools: Shop areas, training exercises, parking areas and temporary restricted zones.
The available color choices can also help a school or district coordinate barricades with campus colors, departments, designated areas or specific operating functions.
MOVIT® for Stadiums and Athletic Facilities
MOVIT® barricades are also well suited to professional, collegiate and school sports facilities that need portable barriers for changing layouts and event schedules.
- Professional sports stadiums and arenas
- College and university athletic facilities
- High school football stadiums
- Baseball and softball complexes

- Basketball arenas and gymnasiums
- Temporary entrances and exit routes
- Ticketing and security checkpoints

Why Use Plastic Barricades Instead of Steel?
Plastic and steel crowd-control barricades each have appropriate applications. Plastic barriers are often preferred where portability, corrosion resistance, color choice and frequent setup are more important than the additional mass of steel.
| Consideration | Plastic Barricades | Galvanized Steel Barricades |
|---|---|---|
| Rust and Corrosion | Plastic barricade body will not rust | Steel may corrode if its protective coating becomes damaged |
| Handling | Generally easier for staff to move and redeploy | Typically heavier |
| Appearance | Available in bright and property-friendly colors | Primarily industrial in appearance |
| Loose Components | MOVIT® and MINIT™ have molded, permanently attached feet | Design varies by steel barricade model |
| Finished Properties | Often preferred for schools, campuses, attractions and guest-facing areas | Better suited to some high-pressure crowd applications |
| Frequent Setup | Well suited to changing layouts and routine deployment | Additional weight may require more handling effort |
Plastic barricades should not automatically be considered a replacement for steel in every environment. Expected crowd pressure, wind exposure, traffic conditions, security requirements and deployment length should be evaluated before selecting a barricade.
Extendit Plastic Barricade Extensions
Extendit sections provide an additional way to expand MOVIT® and MINIT™ barricade layouts while reducing the number of full-size barricades required for some applications.
These lightweight extensions are designed to connect with MOVIT® and MINIT™ barriers and are available in matching color options, subject to current availability.
Possible Uses for Barricade Extensions
- Extending long school pickup boundaries
- Creating longer stadium pedestrian routes
- Expanding event perimeters
- Connecting widely spaced full-size barriers
- Reducing the number of full barricades needed in low-pressure areas
- Creating flexible mixed-length layouts
Extensions are not intended to replace a full barricade in every location. Their suitability depends on the layout, expected pedestrian pressure and required stability.
Planning a School or Stadium Barricade Layout
Before requesting a quote, measure the total area and identify entrances, exits, corners, emergency access points and intentional openings.
Schools and stadiums should also consider:
- Arrival and dismissal traffic patterns
- Student, guest and spectator volume
- Bus, rideshare and parent pickup areas
- Emergency and fire department access
- Accessible pedestrian routes
- Parking and vehicle separation
- Athletic event schedules
- Indoor or outdoor use
- Wind and weather exposure
- Storage space between events
- Available staff for deployment
- Color or identification requirements
- Whether full-size and compact barricades should be combined
Barricades should not be placed where they obstruct required exits, emergency access routes or accessible pathways. Final layouts remain the responsibility of the facility and appropriate safety personnel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best plastic barricade for schools?
MOVIT® is generally the best starting point for K–12 schools, school districts, colleges and universities. Its full-size design is suitable for pickup areas, campus events, athletic facilities, parking operations and temporary pedestrian routes.
MINIT™ may be preferable for short entrances, hallways and compact closure points.
Can MOVIT® barricades be used at professional sports stadiums?
Yes. MOVIT® barricades may be used for appropriate pedestrian-routing applications at professional and collegiate stadiums, including entrances, concession areas, parking operations, fan events and temporary restricted zones.
The expected crowd pressure and security requirements should be evaluated before selecting any lightweight barricade.
Do MOVIT® and MINIT™ barricades interlock?
Yes. MOVIT® and MINIT™ barricades interlock with units of the same size and can also be combined with one another to create mixed-length layouts.
Are the feet removable?
No. The feet on MOVIT® and MINIT™ barricades are molded into the one-piece barricade body. This eliminates separate feet that could become misplaced during transportation, setup or storage.
Will plastic barricades rust?
No. The polypropylene barricade body will not rust, making these products useful for schools, campuses, athletic facilities, parks and other indoor or outdoor properties.
Can school colors be mixed in one order?
Different barricade colors may be mixed within an order, subject to current inventory, minimum quantities, production schedules and freight considerations.
Can a school or stadium logo be added?
MOVIT® and MINIT™ barricades include a centered display area that may accommodate identification, logos or approved graphics. Please provide artwork and project details for review.
Are plastic barricades suitable for heavy crowd pressure?
Plastic barricades are appropriate for many pedestrian-routing and temporary-boundary applications. Heavy crowds, aggressive crowd pressure or higher-security areas may require steel barricades or a different engineered crowd-management system.
Can these barricades be used indoors?
Yes. MOVIT® and MINIT™ barricades can be used in school gymnasiums, arenas, convention facilities, stadium concourses, commercial buildings and other indoor areas when dimensions and clearance permit.
Can plastic barricades be left outdoors?
These plastic barricades are designed for indoor and outdoor use. Long-term appearance and service life will depend on sunlight, climate, handling, wind, surface conditions and storage practices. Routine inspection is recommended.
Which model is best for construction work?
CROWDCADE™ is generally the better choice when a traditional orange or white construction-style barricade is preferred for a work zone, utility project or temporary street-related application.
How many barricades will I need?
Measure the total linear footage and identify required openings, entrances, exits and corners. The quantity will depend on the selected barricade width, connection overlap and layout.
