Of course, this is INCREDIBLY dangerous because of the amount of people walking around in the square, children playing, and the fact that it's just straight up NOT a road. I worry that the tracks being paved here might encourage more of that sort of idiocy, ie., "It's paved and normal tracks aren't, therefore; okay to drive!"

Worry not, GtwoK.  Such idiocy requires no encouragement - it always finds a way!  Wink

I have seen this as well.  I have also seen a driver realize their error, and instead of stopping and carefully turning around, they sped off at high speed through the pedestrian square and jumped the curb.

Self driving cars cannot come soon enough.
