Ragsblock traffic barrier

Abstract

The present invention is a traffic barrier with a conduit provided throughout its length. The conduit may be configured to house wiring, plumbing, irrigation, etc. The traffic barrier may also be provided with a keyway and one or more drainways to allow the flow of rain runoff to move through the barrier. Anchoring devices will attach to the roadbed and fit within the barrier drainways to better secure the position of the traffic barrier. The barrier is provided with accessory sleeves to retains posts or poles for signs or fences. The accessory sleeves may be in communication with the conduit. One end of the traffic barrier may be enlarged to accommodate a cavity to house a battery and sleeve for a solar panel. Multiple barriers may be joined in series to create a connected conduit RAGSBLOCK system.
