History:
Jersey barriers, also known as New Jersey or K-rail barriers, have been a crucial part of modern road and highway infrastructure for decades. Their origins can be traced back to the 1940s when the New Jersey State Highway Department developed these barriers as a means to enhance highway safety. Over the years, they gained widespread adoption due to their effectiveness in redirecting traffic, preventing crossover accidents, and providing temporary or permanent barricades at construction sites.

These barriers are typically made of reinforced concrete, which ensures durability and longevity. Their distinctive angled shape not only helps deflect vehicles but also minimizes the risk of vehicles becoming airborne during collisions. Jersey barriers have become an integral part of road safety measures and urban planning, embodying a commitment to public safety and efficient traffic management. By incorporating our HO scale jersey barriers into your diorama, you pay homage to their real-world significance in ensuring safe and organized transportation systems.
