Historical description and application

The “Jersey” barrier is a distinctive concrete block used to separate lanes and prevent uncontrolled vehicle departures. The first examples were created in the USA at the end of the 1950s and were initially intended to improve highway safety in the state of New Jersey, which gave the barrier its name. Nowadays, such barriers are widely used in military operational areas—as seen in the Middle East conflicts of the 21st century, ISAF bases, or NATO operations—to secure positions, protect gates, or shield checkpoints.
