ABSTRACT:
Safety barriers for directing and separating traffic on roads, highways and construction sites which include through-holes or passageways for animals to pass through. The through-holes or passageways are configured so that distal edges of the through-hole or passageway openings downstream from traffic flow are obtusely angled with respect to adjacent sides of the barriers, and thereby able to deflect vehicles which might strike the barriers at the openings. The through-holes or passageways allow small animals to pass through the barriers and thereby escape being struck by vehicles. The through-holes or passageways can include sloped bottoms to prevent animals from nesting therein.
