The same plastic barriers are used in Australia. While they may be
capable of retaining water .. I am yet to see one with water in it ...
probably too much trouble and we do have a lack of water too.
Where weight is required the concrete ones look to be used, possibly
easier and quicker to do that than the plastic ones then fill with
water, then drain etc.

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
