Oh, Bollards.
Oh, bollards! How 11 vehicles including a POLICE VAN smashed into steel traffic-calming post in just four weeks in scheme that has been cause of 'hundreds of crashes'

The residential road in Watford was narrowed to just 7ft with two 2ft-high bollards positioned on either side a decade ago, in a bid to prevent heavy goods vehicles using the road as a shortcut. Residents say they have been going to the council for the last ten years asking for the width restriction to be altered. Resident Tim Vigor, who said hundred of cars and vans have crashed since, decided to set up cameras to record the incidents over the past month in order to show how bad the issue is. His footage captures unaware drivers at the exact moment their vehicle hits the bollards located in Woodmere Avenue, Watford. Vehicle after vehicle collides with the kerb and bollards in almost identical manners. Some vehicles approach the narrow lane at speed while some crawl through - yet all end up in the same situation, as they mount the kerb on the passenger side and are stopped in their tracks by the bollard. This causes all the vehicles to bounce up on their passenger side due to the impact - with one of the cars doing so at such force that smoke pours out of the bonnet.
