Jersey barriers, also known as Jersey walls or Jersey bumps, are modular concrete or plastic barriers used to separate lanes of traffic and provide effective traffic control. The name "Jersey barrier" originated from their extensive use in New Jersey. These barriers minimize vehicle damage in case of collision and enhance safety on the road. There are portable and easily deployable options, like plastic Jersey barriers, or more permanent and durable concrete Jersey barriers. Jersey barriers often feature forklift slots at the bottom for easy portability during road construction. The plastic versions can also be filled with water for added weight and stability.
