A Jersey barricade, or Jersey barrier, is recognized by its wide base and sloped sides that narrow toward the top. Commonly used for traffic control, lane separation, road construction, and work zones, these barriers can be made from concrete or durable plastic that can be filled with water for added stability. The name comes from the design’s early use and development by the New Jersey State Highway Department.

A non-Jersey barricade refers to barriers that do not have the traditional sloped Jersey-style shape. They may be straight, upright, fence-style, or open-frame and are commonly used for pedestrian control, crowd management, construction sites, parking areas, events, and general traffic guidance. Many are lightweight and portable, making them easy to move, store, and set up as needed.

Jersey barricades have a wide base and sloped sides and are typically used for vehicle traffic control, lane separation, and work zones. Non-Jersey barricades come in a variety of shapes and are more commonly used for pedestrian control, crowd management, events, parking areas, and general traffic guidance.

The right barricade depends on your application. Choose a Jersey barricade when you need a durable solution for vehicle traffic control, lane separation, or work zones. A non-Jersey barricade may be a better fit for pedestrian control, crowd management, parking areas, or events such as concerts, festivals, parades, and sporting events where a lightweight and portable barrier is preferred.
