A portable traffic barrier which can be positioned in a use position on the ground at a desired location and then filled with a ballasting liquid, said traffic barrier comprising:

• a hollow body having a rectangular cross-section, a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end and a part of longitudinal sides;
• a support band connected to each of said pair of sides near said body bottom, said support band extending at an angle from said body so that said support band positions said body away from said ground when said barrier is in said use position, a first portion of each support band having a hollow interior in fluid communication with said body, a second portion of said band being attached to said first portion and extending parallel to said ground when said barrier is in said use position, said second band portion having deformations that generate a noise when a tire travels thereof;
• an evacuation nozzle connected to one of said support bands for draining said ballasting liquid from said support band and said body;
• a flexible tube having a first end connected to said evacuation nozzle and a second end;
• means for releasably holding said tube second end in a raised position to prevent said ballasting liquid from draining through said tube;
• male connection means connected to said first body end and female connection means connected to said second body end, said male connection means on a first barrier mating with said female connection means on a second barrier to movably attach said first and second barriers together;
