There is disclosed a mounting apparatus which comprises a vertically extending rigid member having an upper end, a lower end and an intermediate portion, a clamping arm member having a generally horizontal arm have an end and a generally vertical arm having an end, a spring and a hinge assembly with a pivot axis coupling the end of the generally horizontal arm to the intermediate portion, a lever arm secured to the horizontal arm proximate the end thereof for pivoting the clamping arm member about the hinge axis to enlarge the space between the generally vertical arm and the lower end of the vertically extending rigid member to encompass the top of a barrier, and a communication affixing device on the upper end of the vertically extending rigid member for the mounting of visual and/or sound communication means such as a sign, signal, light, alarm, and/or detection means. In one embodiment, the barrier is a road divider such as a New Jersey Barrier, an F-shape barrier, a GM barrier, or a Constant-slope barrier.

I claim: 1. Barrier mounting apparatus comprising a vertically extending rigid member having an upper end, a lower end and an intermediate portion, a clamping arm member having a generally horizontal arm with an end and a generally vertical arm with an end, a spring, and hinge assembly coupling the end of said generally horizontal arm to said intermediate portion, said hinge assembly having an axis, a lever arm secured to said horizontal arm proximate the end thereof for pivoting said clamping arm member about said axis so as to enlarge the space between said generally vertical arm and the lower end of said vertically extending rigid member to encompass the top of a barrier, and a mounting device on the upper end of said vertically extending rigid member to support a communication means. 2. The mounting apparatus of claim 1 including at least one gripping member at the lower end of said generally vertically extending rigid member and/or at the end of said vertical arm of said clamping arm member. 3. The mounting apparatus of claim 1 wherein the communication means includes at least one member selected from a sign, signal, light, alarm, and/or detector. 4. The mounting apparatus of claim 1 wherein the communication means is visual. 5. The mounting apparatus of claim 1 where the communication means produces sound. 6. The mounting apparatus of claim 2 wherein the gripping member is constructed to grip a concrete surface, a metal surface or a plastic surface. 7. The mounting apparatus of claim 2 wherein the gripping member contains cleats or studs. 8. The mounting apparatus of claim 7 wherein the cleats or studs are constructed of stainless steel, carbide steel, titanium, plastic, or rubber. 9. The mounting apparatus of claim 2 wherein the gripping member contains one or more gripping pads. 10. The mounting apparatus of claim 9 wherein the gripping pads are constructed of stainless steel, carbide steel, titanium, plastic or rubber. 11. Barrier mounting apparatus comprising a vertically extending rigid member having an upper end, a lower end and an intermediate portion, an L or angle shaped clamping arm member having a generally horizontal arm with an end portion and a generally vertical arm with an end portion, a hinge and pivot axis assembly coupling the end of said generally horizontal arm to said intermediate portion, a lever arm secured to said horizontal arm proximate the end thereof for pivoting said clamping arm member about said axis so as to enlarge the space between said generally vertical arm and the lower end of said vertically extending rigid member to thereby encompass the top of a barrier, a spring positioned in between and attached to the lever arm and rigid member to apply gripping compression between the clamping arm member and the rigid member so as to secure the mount apparatus to the barrier, and a mounting device on the upper end of said vertically extending rigid member to support a communication means. 12. The mounting apparatus of claim 11 including at least one gripping member at the lower end of said generally vertically extending rigid member and/or at the end of said vertical arm of said clamping arm member. 13. The mounting apparatus of claim 12 wherein each gripping member is constructed to grip a concrete surface, a metal surface and/or a plastic surface. 14. The mounting apparatus of claim 11 wherein the communication means includes at least one member selected form a sign, signal, light, alarm, and/or detector. 15. The mounting apparatus of claim 11 wherein the communication means is visual. 16. The mounting apparatus of claim 11 where the communication means produces sound.
