Abstract
A rotatable locking device composed of a flexible plastic material is disposed adjacent the end portions of each pair of legs for barricade structure for streets and highways. The locking device can be rotated into an operating position where it bears against the tips of the end portions of the legs when extended and so locks them into place to thereby keep the legs extended during harsh weather conditions and when the barricade is subjected to repeated gusts of winds from passing trucks. When the barricade is suddenly impacted, however, the end portions of the leg members will spring free from the locking devices owing to elastic deformation or 'forgiveness' of the flexible plastic material that comprises both locks and legs to thereby allow the leg members of the barricade to fold or collapse to a safe position.
