Once you've put the money out for the molds, dental plaster is pretty cheap and you can cast quite a few things from each bag of it.

Yes. Yes it does look a lot like concrete. :)

I also saw gamers who use silicone ice "cube" trays to make *somewhat* similar barriers - one of the best I saw actually used the underside of the tray in between the slots where you'd normally put the water. Since you said you want realistic jersey barriers, those might not fit the bill. However, if you want something similar that might appear in an alternate future Earth setting, they look pretty good.

The ones that looked the most promising for Car Wars are:
Mold #280, which is 1.5" concrete squares.
The Star Fortress Molds, particularly the Post (#315) and The Walls (#415).
The Factory Accessories Mold (#331) also has some good bits (oil barrel, jersey barrier, cones, and some other stuff).
Some of the others might be useful for other specific things.
