A traffic barrier and soundwall system, comprising:

• a plurality of flanged vertical posts having a central web and a first flange centered on an end of the web and a second flange centered on an opposite end of the web;
• the posts oriented with the first flange facing a roadway;
• a first traffic barrier located between a first and second post;
• a second traffic barrier located between the second and a third post;
• a first crash panel located above the first traffic barrier, and extending between the first and second post;
• a second crash panel located above the second traffic barrier, and extending between the second post and the third post;
• each traffic barrier and crash panel comprising:
• a front and an opposite back;
• a first end and an opposite second end;
• a top and a bottom;
• a first recess located at the intersection of the back and the first end;
• a second recess located at the intersection of the back and the second end;
• and,
• the first recess and second recess having a recess front and a recess end;
• a U-shaped strap connector having a base and a pair of arms extending perpendicularly from the base, and having an orifice located on each arm;
• a strap fastener connecting one arm of the strap connector to the first recess of the first traffic barrier;
• a strap fastener connecting the other arm of the strap connector to the second recess of the second traffic barrier;
• the base of the strap connector positioned beyond the second flange of the second post to secure the first traffic barrier to the second traffic barrier;
• a second U-shaped strap connector having a base and a pair of arms extending perpendicularly from the base, and having an orifice located on each arm;
• a strap fastener connecting one arm of the second U-shaped strap connector to the first crash panel and a strap fastener connecting the other arm of the second U-shaped strap connector to the second crash panel;
• and,
• the base of the second U-shaped strap connector positioned beyond the second flange of the second post to secure the first crash panel to the second crash panel.
