Does this regularly happen in other cities, too? My attempts at searching were unsuccessful, possibly I'm not using the right keywords for the search.
This was at night, in the dark, but they're definitely not good practice. I have had near collisions. And if it is a busy trail like this they'll cause congestion. Bollards serve exactly thensametpurpose. They aren't great for trail users but they're immeasurably better.
I think bollards prevent car traffic but not motorcycles, and they do not slow down bicycles. Or am I mistaken?
