I was unfamiliar with the term jersey_barrier - but then there are other barriers I was unfamiliar with. I'm happy to use it - I'm English in England - as there are no dual-uses I am aware of.

https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/Wp18aKeOYiiFWti5nTqorQ  in my opinion shows some very posh jersey-barriers outside the Palace of Westminster.

I've noticed that many of the plastic barriers used on UK motorways are filled with water - presumably as they can be located by hand then filled from a mobile water tank - no crane required.

Thanks, Martin! I couldn’t find that link.

I wish the OSM wiki search feature had a better algorithm.

Can anyone from England confirm that this tag is intelligible in your dialect? Are there other names for these that should be mentioned on the page?

    I want to know so that the wiki page can be edited to show the
    correct status: approved vs in use.


    I went back into the archives and it seems it was included and
    approved in my more barrier types proposal 2011:

    Not sure where the tag name for jersey barriers came from,
    probably from tagging ml discussion (it is not a word I have in my
    vocabulary)

    Cheers, Martin
