restrict all or a portion of the right-of-way of a street to vehicular traffic. The City of Round Rock requires
Type II Barricades to be used for a block party street closure. The following criteria needs to be followed in
order to comply with the standards adopted by the City of Round Rock:
Use a Type II Barricade
A minimum of at least two (2) barricades shall be used on each end of the closed street
At the discretion of the City Traffic Engineer or a designated representative, additional
barricades may be required to restrict vehicular access to the street.
If the overturning of a sign could be of concern due to wind, sandbags shall be used to hold the
barricade in place
NO OTHER MEANS OF CLOSING THE STREET WILL BE ACCEPTABLE.
**The City of Round Rock has Type II barricades that are loaned out on a
first come, first serve basis. If you would like to request to borrow the
