Video Clip, what is it?

No, you are not right.
It's not a pedestrian crossing, there is no zebra. It's the entrance to a pedestrian zone. They tried this in Philly, too, only they had a manned cop car parked across the end of the street to prevent traffic other than busses from entering. Btw, the street is at least three times as wide as the car is long.

The bollards neither lift the vehicle nor endanger anyone. The only people injured, ignored plenty of flashing and fixed signs and flagrantly tried to beat the system. They deserve no more pity than someone who drives into a Jersey Barrier.

The system is safe, effective and monitored as the guidelines proscribe. There is nothing in the guidelines, the law, or in all of technology that can make them idiot proof. What, put a cop there? How many cops get run over by asshats every year?
