    Maybe they do it to slow down traffic. It’s clearly a residential area. It could be that speeding is a problem.

      It’s been tried and tested. Human bodies barely slow a car down. It’s much better to place something solid, like a concrete block

        I was assuming a rational driver who would slow down to avoid hitting people.

        Part of the problems is humans won’t damage the paint on the cars. You want drivers to slow down, make them worry about their paint tends to be more effective than making them worry about hitting a pedestrian.

          Just fill your pockets with balloons full of brake fluid. That way when someone hits you their car gets covered in brake fluid, ruining the paint job.
