Durable Delineator Tubes & Posts for Work Zones, Parking Lots & Events

Delineator tubes (also called delineator posts) provide a highly visible, flexible way to separate lanes, guide vehicles, and protect pedestrians in temporary or semi-permanent traffic control layouts. TrafficCones.com offers multiple styles, heights, and base weights—all in stock and ready for immediate shipment—to handle everything from highway work zones to parking garages and special events.

Multiple Top Styles for Different Applications

Choose the delineator tube style that fits your job:

• Arch-Top Delineator Tubes – molded arch handle for attaching plastic chain, caution tape, or perimeter flags.
• Arrow Top Delineator Tubes – multi-function top that works as a handle and receiver for tape, rope, plastic chain, or a flasher light.
• Looper Tubes & Looper Cones – loop-style handles that make linking cones or posts with rope or chain quick and simple.
• Flat Top Tubes – flat grip-style tops that are easy to handle and ideal for use with cone bars.
• Channelizer Posts – tall, narrow profiles ideal for channelizing traffic in tight spaces or long tapers.

High-Visibility Colors & Optional Reflective Collars

Our delineator tubes are manufactured from brilliant, UV-stabilized LDPE (low-density polyethylene) that keeps color bright even after years of outdoor use. Many models are available in fluorescent orange, lime, green, blue, white, or black to match your application, branding, or site standard.

Optional 3" high-intensity reflective collars can be added to meet visibility requirements for nighttime work zones, lane closures, and road projects where drivers need to see the devices from greater distances.

Recycled Rubber Bases for Stability

Detachable recycled rubber bases in 8 lb, 12 lb, and 18 lb weights provide a low center of gravity and excellent stability in wind, traffic turbulence, and light impacts. Bases slide over the tube and sit flush on the pavement, making them easy to transport, deploy, and store when not in use.

Common Uses for Delineator Tubes

Delineator posts are one of the most versatile tools in traffic control. They’re commonly used for:

• Separating lanes in work zones or detours
• Marking taper transitions and lane shifts
• Creating pedestrian walkways and crowd control lines
• Directing traffic in parking lots, garages, and drive-thru lanes
• Protecting bike lanes or temporary curb extensions

Because they are slim, flexible, and easy to move, delineator tubes are ideal for locations where space is limited but visibility is critical.

Build a Complete Delineation System

Combine delineator tubes with traffic cone accessories like cone bars, plastic chain, caution tape, and clip-on signs to create a complete, adjustable traffic control system. They also work alongside our Traffic Cones and Grabber Cones for more robust setups or mixed-device layouts.
