“They are not safe. They are anything but for safety,” said a woman who added vehicles in the two-block section sometimes drive in the middle of Springbrook to avoid the bollards.

Oh, so drivers behind of the wheel of an automobile are the danger. Why remove the bike lanes rather than the car lanes?

I heard that Etobicoke's NIMBYs are insane, but this is a new level of stupidity from Richmond Hill.

Reading that the people were confused about bollards is astounding

Don't run into or over them and you're fine, if you feel you're going too fast for how close you are to them, slow down.

It's not rocket surgery

And that style of plastic "bollard" barely even counts as a bollard.. You can drive right over them and they just break off/fall down.

We need to add coloring in between the lines to the driving test.

In NJ you are allowed to bump the curb when parallel parking but not allowed to go up on the curb. Getting bumped by a car hurts a lot.
