In the 1950's, concrete traffic barriers started making an appearance in New Jersey. Due to their effectiveness at stopping wayward cars, they are now used globally.
Technically, this model is a Type-F barrier, which has been developed in recent years. These barriers are made in 10', 12', and 20' lengths.
Included in this set are 10' and 12' lengths, a 10' barrier with forklift pockets underneath, and two types of molds, in case you'd like to cast these. A good tutorial to cast these quickly and cheaply can be found here: https://shortlinemodelers.com/2019/05/14/realistic-concrete/
The first mold can be clamped, but there are four 3.5 mm holes to allow four M3 x 16 screws and nuts to tighten these together.
The second is a top-down mold (as one part), but it doesn't have the fork pockets. Just fill this one up, then make sure the bottom of the part is flush with the bottom of the mold.
Using resin is not recommended, as the temperatures may exceed the filament melting temps.
