A traffic barrier delineator apparatus configured for being removably placed through a horizontal hole in a traffic barrier is described. The apparatus is made from plastic and is hollow with a retainer that will retain it in the traffic barrier hole. It is collapsible and will bend if hit by traffic. The apparatus is reusable and replaces industry standard adhesively attached traffic barrier traffic markers. This apparatus allows installation in traffic barriers that have screens or panels on top. This apparatus is far more visible to traffic with various reflective configurations and will not be incidentally dislodged during construction activities. Applications include temporary traffic barriers such as K-rails or Jersey rails, where existing horizontal holes allow the apparatus to be quickly slid into without entering live traffic. Traffic barriers with and without horizontal holes can be retrofitted for this apparatus.

1. A traffic barrier with base delineator apparatus, the apparatus comprising: (a) a traffic barrier segment having a base portion with an outside edge, the traffic barrier segment having a vertical section extending from the base portion, the vertical section having a sidewall with one or more horizontally transverse lifting holes, the traffic barrier segment having a traffic side and a work side, the traffic barrier segment configured for positioning with additional traffic barrier segments to form a traffic barrier;(b) a resilient, elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, said elongate body having a width sized to fit within an interior of one of said horizontally transverse lifting holes, said elongate body having a length sized to be greater than the length of said transverse lifting hole, said elongate body having a base mounted to the proximal end of the body;(c) wherein said elongate body has an exterior surface configured to frictionally engage the interior surface of said transverse lifting hole upon insertion of the elongate body into the transverse lifting hole;(d) wherein the elongate body can be slidably inserted and removed from the barrier without tools;(e) wherein the elongate body can be slidably inserted and removed safely from the work side of the barrier without stopping traffic on the traffic side of the barrier; and(f) an annular restraint on the exterior surface of said elongate body, said restraint configured to resist removal of the elongate body from the barrier lifting hole after insertion. 2. The apparatus as recited in claim 1, further comprising at least one reflector mounted to the exterior surface of the distal end of the elongate body. 3. The apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said annular restraint comprises a resilient annular ridge. 4. The apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said annular restraint comprises a plurality of resilient ears extending radially from said exterior surface of said elongate body. 5. The apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said elongate body comprises a flexible rubber tube. 6. A traffic barrier with base delineator apparatus, the apparatus comprising: (a) a traffic barrier segment having a base portion with an outside edge, the traffic barrier segment having a vertical section extending from the base portion, the vertical section having a sidewall with one or more horizontally transverse lifting holes, the traffic barrier segment having a traffic side and a work side, the traffic barrier segment configured for positioning with additional traffic barrier segments to form a traffic barrier;(b) a resilient, elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, said elongate body having a width sized to fit within an interior of one of said horizontally transverse lifting holes, said elongate body having a length sized to be greater than the length of said transverse lifting hole, said elongate body having a base mounted to the proximal end of the body;(c) wherein said elongate body has an exterior surface configured to frictionally engage the interior surface of said transverse lifting hole upon insertion of the elongate body into the transverse lifting hole;(d) wherein the elongate body can be slidably inserted and removed from the barrier without tools;(e) wherein the elongate body can be slidably inserted and removed safely from the work side of the barrier without stopping traffic on the traffic side of the barrier; and(f) an annular ring adapted to slide over the exterior surface of the distal end of the elongate body after the elongate body is inserted into a said one of said transverse lifting holes. 7. The apparatus as recited in claim 6, wherein said elongate body comprises a flexible rubber tube. 8. The apparatus as recited in claim 6, further comprising at least one reflector mounted to the exterior surface of the distal end of the elongate body. 9. A traffic barrier with base delineator apparatus, the apparatus comprising: (a) a traffic barrier segment having a base portion with an outside edge, the traffic barrier segment having a vertical section extending from the base portion, the vertical section having a sidewall with one or more horizontally transverse lifting holes, the traffic barrier segment having a traffic side and a work side, the traffic barrier segment configured for positioning with additional traffic barrier segments to form a traffic barrier; and(b) a resilient, elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, said elongate body having a width sized to fit within an interior of one of said horizontally transverse lifting holes, said elongate body having a length sized to be greater than the length of said transverse lifting hole, said elongate body having a base mounted to the proximal end of the body;(c) wherein said elongate body has an exterior surface configured to frictionally engage the interior surface of said transverse lifting hole upon insertion of the elongate body into the transverse lifting hole;(d) wherein the elongate body can be slidably inserted and removed from the barrier without tools;(e) wherein the elongate body can be slidably inserted and removed safely from the work side of the barrier without stopping traffic on the traffic side of the barrier; and(f) wherein said base of said elongate body comprises an end cap reversibly mounted to the proximal end of said elongate body. 10. The apparatus as recited in claim 9, wherein said elongate body comprises a flexible rubber tube. 11. The apparatus as recited in claim 9, further comprising at least one reflector mounted to the exterior surface of the distal end of the elongate body.
