Granite and concrete blocks are installed as part of Operational Projects as hardening in order to provide safety for pedestrians. Many granite blocks have been repurposed from bridge rehabilitation projects across the City. These blocks are a sustainable solution that integrates seamlessly into New York City’s urban environment. NYC DOT also purchases new blocks when needed.
A few years ago they put some rocks in low visibility corners in my neighbourhood after a few close calls with kids. Every once in a while someone still tries to cut the corner and hits the rocks. Often enough that the rocks need to be moved back at least once a year.
Now, in the US I expect the rocks will be protests as soon as the first idiot backs into one of the rocks.
In the US the owner of the vehicle would likely try and sue the owner of the rocks.
In my area they raised the issue that crashing into them could injure or kill the driver lol.
They should also remove houses and all other buildings, way to dangerous if a driver crashes into them.
This big ass rock under our feet is a hazard, anyone can crash into it at any moment, especially the elderly and children
These have been around for years
Back meaning further back from the corner or back to where it was before the hit?
To before it was hit
