A 
traffic barricade is a barricade of a type used for vehicle traffic control in construction zones, temporary event reservations, or road closures. These are lightweight devices, usually tested to ensure they do not pose a hazard to striking vehicles, and may take the form of an A-frame or sawhorse in low-speed situations, with higher speed or more permanent closures using a taller vertical barricade instead, referred to as a "Type III" in North America. This makes them distinct from a barrier=jersey_barrier, which is designed to redirect or stop errant motor vehicles when used as directed. In addition, modern traffic control barricades are retroreflectorized to provide conspicuity, displaying a distinctive striping pattern which differentiates them from temporary pedestrian fences, older "sawhorse" barricades sometimes still used in low-speed areas, and other types of barriers (bollards, Jersey barriers) or channelizing devices (cones, drums, vertical panels, "stick" delineators).
How to map
Simply add a new node tagged barrier=barricade at the barricade's location on the way. You do not need to add individual nodes or a way to represent multiple barricades at the location.
By default, a barricade is assumed to legally prohibit all access beyond it, even though non-vehicular modes can generally bypass them with difficulty, and a vehicle that intentionally wishes to bypass them can typically knock them over. If a barricade is used to denote a closure to through traffic only, the barricade and the way beyond it should both be tagged access=destination, and a traffic_sign=* can be added for the closure sign.
