Abstract:
A vehicular traffic barrier system section for connection end to end with at least one other vehicular traffic barrier system section to form an elongated vehicular traffic barrier system and comprising, in combination:a barrier module having a top, a bottom, a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls extending between and adjoining said side walls; hinge elements located at the end walls of said barrier module for hingedly connecting the vehicular traffic barrier system section to adjacent vehicular traffic barrier system sections; and resilient bumpers connected to said barrier module extending outwardly from the end walls thereof adjacent to the side walls thereof for engaging resilient bumpers extending outwardly from end walls of adjacent vehicular traffic barrier system sections when hingedly connected thereto by said hinge elements to limit relative pivotal movement therebetween, prevent engagement between the end walls of said barrier module and end walls of barrier modules of adjacent vehicular traffic barrier system sections and to absorb shock forces caused by said relative pivotal movement, at least one of said resilient bumpers projecting forwardly from one of the end walls and at least one of said resilient bumpers projecting downwardly from the other of the end walls.
