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.
In my area they raised the issue that crashing into them could injure or kill the driver lol.
With cars as bloated as today? Not a chance.
They should also remove houses and all other buildings, way to dangerous if a driver crashes into them.
You forget the murderous trees that suddenly jump into the way of speeding drivers.
Doesn't it bother you when the random tree just decides to cross the road with no notice? Especially in corners.
What bothers me even more is when they stand there waiting as if they are about to cross. I mean make a decision and stick with it for once.
Have you faced the Drunk Tree? It's that weird tree that steps into the road to take a leak, stands there awkwardly for two seconds too long, you crash your precious car into it and they just go their way without a care.
No where I live they drown in the canals. But thanks for the heads up, can imagine them being dangerous for drivers.
This big ass rock under our feet is a hazard, anyone can crash into it at any moment, especially the elderly and children
Even worse hazard for aircraft, extremely deadly yet we act like it's normal
