  • a unitary, plastic, hollow, blow-molded, stackable barrel having a predetermined height and circumference, a top and a bottom, the top of the barrel forming a partial dome and including radial ribs for increased strength, the bottom of the barrel forming a cavity and having a radially inwardly extending lip about the circumference of the barrel;

    a handle on the top of the barrel;

    means for affixing a traffic warning light to the top of the barrel;

    means for affixing a flag to the top of the barrel;

    a relatively heavy molded rubber base, said base forming a cylindrical opening vertically through the center of the base that is adapted to receive a traffic delineation post, said base comprising a lower portion that extends into an upper portion, the lower portion having a series of radial ribs formed in its bottom surface and having a relatively larger cross-sectional area compared to the upper portion, the upper portion having a relatively flat top surface and including a tapered overhang around substantially the entire circumference of the upper portion for receiving the lip of the barrel and thereby creating a seal when the barrel is pushed onto the base;
