construction barriers

Work zone dividers

Construction barriers are temporary structures placed around work zones to control traffic, protect workers, and keep pedestrians away from hazards.

They range from lightweight plastic barricades and orange cones to heavy concrete Jersey barriers.

Construction barriers lined both sides of the highway for miles.

The term covers any physical obstacle marking an active construction area.
