In a traffic channeling device, a molded rib for attachment to an exterior surface of a bottom wall of a drum for inhibiting the drum from rotating relative to a rubber ballasting collar. The rib comprises an exterior surface for contact with the rubber ballasting collar, a back surface for contact with the bottom wall of the traffic channeling device, and a thickness between the exterior and back surfaces. In aspects of the device, the one or more molded ribs may be attached to the bottom wall exterior surface in a latitudinal arc of less than 180.degree.. In further aspects of the device, locator pins radially extending from the bottom wall exterior surface complement cavities in the back surface of the molded rib. In additional aspects of the device, fasteners, such as screws, attach the molded ribs to the device such that the fasteners do not extend past a wall inside surface, thereby inhibiting marring of drum walls during stacking of the drums. In further aspects of the device, the drum and the ribs are unitarily molded.
