Steve Bannister@cleatsandcode @davidho the space is so narrow any cars have to drive slowly through the bollards or risk damage to their shiny automobile. Particularly fun in my opinion is that larger cars have to be even more careful
Dana das Grau 🧙🏻🧝♂️@milgrim @cleatsandcode @davidho are we, as a species losing our sense of spatial awareness? Looks like no problem to me.
@DanadasGrau @cleatsandcode @davidho I don't think so. It takes quite the confidence to go faster than 2-3mph through metal bollards with 12inches/30cm clearance either side. That would be a quick way to lose your mirrors in the best case.
I've seen them work very effectively in Cambridge, UK where they seem to be primarily used to keep large volumes of through traffic from abusing quieter residential city streets.
Andreas K@milgrim @DanadasGrau @cleatsandcode @davidho Well, the average human's spatial awareness is actually rather embarrassing. That's why these bollards work.
Third spruce tree on the left@yacc143 @milgrim @DanadasGrau @cleatsandcode @davidho Yeah. I dove a 1978 Ford Econoline Chateau Club all through high school I'm like "what is the problem here"?
Thing was the size of an aircraft carrier and I fit that thing anywhere.
@tezoatlipoca @yacc143 @milgrim @cleatsandcode @davidho my first car was a ‘76 Monte Carlo. Now I am driving a ‘05 Toyota echo. I could probably set the Toyota on the hood of that Monte Carlo with room to spare.
Phil Davis@DanadasGrau @tezoatlipoca @yacc143 @milgrim @cleatsandcode @davidho '72 Chevy Blazer here. Reminds me of passing on mountain trails with steep drop-offs. You get pretty good, but when in doubt, it helps to have a spotter.
