On top of the barriers listed in one of my earlier posts, we have a fourth type of mini-barrier, that we have dubbed the
Rhode Island Barrier, due to its rather small size (it just seems to fit with the New Jersey/Texas/Alaska motif...). The RI Barrier is roughly two feet tall (60cm, for my Euro-centric friends out there), and approximately three feet wide (120cm). Although not very imposing (heck, we can push them over - and that is without using the Breadtruck!), they provide a sort-of-safety function by helping to delineate foot traffic paths and provide the heavy equipment (TCN Sandcrawlers, and big military people-squisher type vehicles) with some sort of guidelines to drive between (not that a house-sized container transporter or T-Rex-esque kind of heavy lifter is really going to notice if they accidentally color outside of the lines...). Anywho, the Rhode Island barriers valiantly do their collective best to limit the collateral damage around here. In the picture above, you can see
Jersey Barriers on the left, and
Texas Barriers on the right (and on the extreme righ, barely visble, are some
Bremmer Barriers - big wire cages, with big bags inside filled with sand - designed like giant sandbags). I'll try to get a picture of our little friend, the RI Barrier, soon!
