Get Standards And Technology - Cementbarriers

Many states use concrete safety shape barriers that are only 150-mm- or 200-mm- (6-in- or 8-in-) thick at the top.

The standard height for a Jersey barrier is 32”. The design calls for a 3” vertical rise from the pavement, then 10” rise at a 55 degree angle, followed by an 84 degree angle for the remainder of the barrier. You will also see certain DOT's with a 42” tall Jersey barrier design maintaining the same slope angles.

You may not realize it, but you see them all the time. The Jersey Barrier — also known as a Jersey Curb, K-rail, or Jersey Wall — refers to the barricades you see along the center and sides of highways, at construction sites, in parking lots, and pretty much anywhere traffic is being directed.

A Jersey barrier, Jersey wall, or Jersey bump is a modular concrete or plastic barrier employed to separate lanes of traffic. It is designed to minimize vehicle damage in cases of incidental contact while still preventing vehicle crossovers resulting in a likely head-on collision.

There are several types of concrete barriers, including F-shaped barriers, Jersey barriers, temporary concrete barriers (TVCB), and more. These barriers vary in design and purpose, with some being more suitable for traffic control, while others are used for anti-vehicle protection.

Minimum Length: 30 m at lengths less than this the barrier has insufficient strength to resist impacts.

The most common barrier used for driving is a speed bump. A speed bump is a device that can be placed in specific areas of a school zone, parking lot, or private property.

The Standard Measurements of Barriers Today highway concrete barriers are set to a standard height of 32 inches and 24 – inches width. It is designed to have the 3-inch base with 13-inch slide slope before becoming vertical.
