Vancouver's 'Slow Streets' Concrete Barriers Blamed For Causing Car Accidents | Carscoops carscoops
At first, the barriers were made of plastic, and were, therefore, taller, lighter, and more movable. As a result, the city said that some people were moving the barriers off the streets, requiring employees to move them back into place.personally I think if someone cannot avoid driving over a bright-yellow concrete barricade than perhaps they should not be trusted to safely navigate the road at all.
In all, it cost the city $200,000 CAD to install all 42 permanent barriers around the city, which seek to restrict speeds on some 25 miles of roadway. The city says that will actually save taxpayers money, sparing it the expense of paying people to drive around and put the temporary barriers back in place.
