They're rebar-reinforced solid concrete ; I'd say (at least for game purposes) a Jersey Barrier would have effectively unlimited DP. Sure, you could sit there for an hour blasting away and reduce it to rocks and twisted steel, but that's outside the scope of normal game play. I figure that hitting it would count as hitting an object the same size as the vehicle for damage purposes, but the barrier will conform to the impact...unless it was semi-permanently mounted, in which case you might as well be smacking into a cliff face.
