Plastic Jersey Barriers
Hollow polyethylene barriers have been developed for short-term applications where portability is important. These plastic barriers are normally filled with water after placement on-site to provide a moderate level of crash protection. They are not designed to deflect vehicles; vehicles may penetrate the barriers. These barriers can also be filled with soil, spill or concrete to produce a heavier barrier with greater crash protection, at the cost of reduced portability.
