You are correct about the cones ... I work (part time) in Traffic Management (ie: Stop/Go, Traffic diversion around the side of road work(s) (tree felling etc) and the term for the spacing of cones is called abrasion. The narrow width of the path ... to slow drivers. (as opposed to the spacing of the cones)
However ... the posts for the barriers would have more to do with engineering strength ... than traffic abrasion. Most car/truck drivers take no notice of the barriers.
Maybe they should paint them red ... :
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
