ABSTRACT:
A traffic channelizing device has a base unit made from the sidewalls of used tires, and additional tire components such as tread portions or other sidewalls, at least partially secured between the sidewalls. Tread portions may be wound spirally between opposing sidewall portions, or horizontally-arranged sidewalls may be positioned partially between the opposing sidewall portion, and may be cut and shaped to a non-circular inner shape to accommodate barrels which have a non-circular shape. Wire ties or the like are used to bind the sidewalls to produce an irregular exterior shape, so that the devices are not inclined to roll when overturned. The base separates readily from the barrel in the event of an impact.
