A traffic barrel is a plastic barrel-shaped object usually orange or yellow in color with reflective markings that is used as a [[traffic barrier]] to channel traffic away or around obstacles and construction sites. Essentially a larger version of the [[traffic cone]].  For night work, there may be small flashing lights attached to the top of the barrels.  They're typically filled with either water or sand.  They're also called: [i]traffic drum, construction barrel[/i], and [i]construction drum[/i].
