A modular, movable, barricade which has, along its bottom edge, a one or more of supporting feet configured to allow stacking during storage and/or transport. Individual, similar barricade modules may be easily assembled into customized configurations for use by complementary attachment means along the side edges. After use, an assembled customized configuration may be easily disassembled into individual barricade modules by detaching the attachment means. The modules may then be stacked for storage and/or transport until further use.

A roadside barrier which has underlying concrete support blocks, a mesh fence, optionally including overlying transparent sheet material, which is erected on the blocks, and a deterrent, sloping mesh-material, surface, which hinders human access, at a base of the fence on the support blocks.

In one embodiment, a deployable barrier container apparatus includes: in folded position, a container and, in unfolded position, a vertical barrier component is deployable on a base placed on the ground to oppose vehicle traffic approaching from an upstream side. A second side wall and a ceiling top are disposed on the downstream side of the base. A first side wall and a stowed top are disposed on the upstream side of the base and on which approaching vehicles move. The horizontal barrier component is disposed upstream of the stowed top and on which the approaching vehicles move, and the horizontal barrier component comprises an elongated sliding friction mat which creates a sliding friction interface with the ground upon contact of a moving vehicle with the deployed vertical barrier component in the deployed position. The base, side walls, and tops are rotatably connected to unfold to form the barrier apparatus.

A temporary barrier is described which comprises a barrier panel (12) supported upon feet (14), wherein the barrier panel (12) comprises a plurality of barrier panel components (16, 18), the barrier panel components (16, 18) being arranged side-by-side and being secured to one another using an upper elongate reinforcing member (20), the panel components (16, 18) being of plastics material form.

A lighted temporary barrier having a body of at least one length of hollow translucent tubing, a string of LEDs with a power source, and connectors on each end for coupling to a structure such as a traffic cone or traffic tube so as to provide a solid barrier between the two structures. The body may be made of at least a first length of translucent tubing forming a body and an optional second length of translucent tubing fitting within the first length of translucent tubing to form an extendible body. Alternatively, the body is made from a plurality of telescoping tubes, in one or both ends. The LED strand may be secured within the body or to the outside of the body.

A barrier transfer machine includes a moveable chassis, an entry snout, an exit snout, a conveyor system, and a control system that aligns the entry snout with road barriers before the road barriers are picked up. The control system includes a barrier position sensor; an entry snout position sensor; and a processing system.
