A traffic barrier structure comprising:
- a plurality of posts fixedly installed at regular intervals along a median or roadside of a road;
- a plurality of guiderail units installed horizontally along the posts, each of the guiderail unit including a guide rail, the guide rail having a longitudinal slot formed so as to face the posts, the guide rail including a connection part formed at both end portions of guide rail;
- a rail holder installed inside the guiderail, the rail holder having a slot holder piece closely engaged against an inner surface of the longitudinal slot and a deformation-resistant piece extending from the slot holder piece, the deformation-resistant piece closely conforming to a portion of an inner curved portion of the guiderail, and the deformation-resistant piece forming an end portion of the rail holder, in order to prevent deformation of the guiderail and enlargement of the longitudinal slot when shock is applied to the guiderail;
- and
- a fastening member fastening the guiderail and the rail holder to the post;
- a rail connector inserted into the connection parts of two neighboring guiderails to horizontally connect the adjacent two neighboring guiderails in series.
