OK, sorry, in the main time I added jersey barrier, feel free to
change this if you're sure that your terms are more precise / known. I
also added the spikes to the proposal (without picture, everybody feel
free to add it). I discovered that spikes already relinks to barrier
(but is not very visible on the barrier page).
