Claim:
In combination: an elongated traffic barrier having spaced first and second traffic barrier ends, said elongated traffic barrier including a plurality of traffic barrier modules, each module of said plurality of traffic barrier modules having module ends and interconnected at least one module end thereof to a module end of a module adjacent thereto, and each module including wheels or other rotatable members for engaging a roadway or other support surface to support said elongated traffic barrier on said roadway or other support surface; a tow vehicle connected to said elongated traffic barrier at or closely adjacent to said first traffic barrier end operable to exert a pulling force on said elongated traffic barrier to pull said elongated traffic barrier while said elongated traffic barrier is in engagement with the support surface and supported by said rotatable members to reposition said elongated traffic barrier on said support surface; and a drag connected to said elongated traffic barrier behind said first traffic barrier end operable to exert a drag force on said elongated traffic barrier opposed to the pulling force exerted on said elongated traffic barrier by said tow vehicle to maintain the elongated traffic barrier in a taut condition to resist wandering of the modules of said elongated traffic barrier during repositioning thereof.
