Definition
An obstruction associated with a transportation route (for example: a road, a railway, a tunnel, a bridge, etc.) to constrain, restrict, and/or prevent passage of vehicles.
Description
A vehicle barrier may be a permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary/non-permanent construction or object. A permanent obstruction is fixed in place at a given location to continuously constrain traffic, and it is built such that it cannot be removed without significant construction. A semi-permanent obstruction is placed at a given location so that traffic can be continuously constrained, but it is built such that it can be removed without need for significant construction. A temporary, or non-permanent obstruction is placed at a given location for a limited time only, and it is built such that it can be removed without any/significant construction. Guardrails and jersey barriers are examples of vehicle barriers.
