Jersey Barriers

(1/2) > >>

V'Ger:
What's behind their name? I figured it was because they started in New Jersey, but I wonder why the name caught on to all of them. Also, what states use them?

roadfro:
Yeah, it's mainly due to the fact that they were developed in New Jersey under research for NJDOT.  Apparently, there are several slightly-modified variants for places like California, Texas, and the UK.

Jersey Barriers are pretty widespread at this point.  I wouldn't expect that there's any U.S. state not using them to at least a small extent.

corco:
We even have them for a few miles in Wyoming, so I can't imagine there's any state without them

V'Ger:
Maybe Alaska?
