    My favorite are the ones here, which look like plastic, but are actually reinforced steel and concrete. Someone's in for a surprise, just like the people who park in the rush hour bus lane (their brand new Mach E was destroyed)

    You must build additional pylons.

    A good step; the next is installing trees and hedges instead. More shadow and a better cushioning!

    It would be interesting if, hypothetically, someone installed some steel rebar in place of the plastic... and just slid the plastic around the steel to hide it.

    Hypothetically.

    He suggested at the time that the city [...] station a police officer there to write tickets.

    I mean .. fuck the police but i would love to see asshole drivers getting fucked

    While it’s not clear if any law enforcement has been dispatched to the area

    But also the police are useless at best

    My city installed those. Every single one of them has been driven over and wrecked.

    That's just a challenged-accepted for your average lifted truck driver, when it comes to dividing cars from bikes anything less that a cement jersey barrier is the equivalent of just asking politely.

    Sometimes they scrape them up and sometimes they have a route map warning of their location. Plus there are municipal equipment that can clear the bike lanes.

    Always enough money for the new highway, never anything for a planned minor strip of bike lanes on a couple streets or two.

    I'd drop in concrete barriers instead.
