I’ve seen some UPS drivers that would just drive over them and park there without a second thought. I always said they should make the poles out of concrete.
I don’t understand why the US is so averse to retractable traffic bollards other than being cheap bastards. That way you can still provide access when certain vehicles need to be able to enter a space, but are also firmly protecting the area any time that there isn’t a vehicle that legitimately needs to enter the space (say for example a back alley that only occasionally needs passage for a service vehicle).
That is the sole thing that guides all of American society now. It’s at the core of nearly every business, and definitely any business of size or note. Maximizing profits is the number 1 priority of the country now, above anything else.

I mean the answer is right there.

We played too much Watch_Dogs and saw the potential for malicious hacking to wreck shit. /s
In my neighborhood there was a bike lane separated from the motor traffic with concrete bollards.
They removed the concrete bollards and replaced them with these shitty plastic ones… because people kept driving their cars into them.
