Uhh. Wouldn’t the terrorist just swerve around it and hit them anyways…?
This is clearly for accidents dude, the hell kinda stretching you doing here?
Since 1931, technology has evolved from big rock, to big retractable pole.
For YOUR image, of course bollards are used, but you see how in your image they COMPLETELY block access? And in how OPs picture you can swerve around? The ad is for fucking accidents lmfao.
Totally different scenarios mate.
OK, fixed it.

It’s just for different scenarios. Complete bollards are used for terrorist scenarios, while OPs is used for accidents.
People are apparently too focused on their bias to comprehend that… different scenarios exist with different solutions. Don’t conflate them because you have an axe to grind.
I think cars are pretty terrifying most of the time. And that's the point. We're supposed to be terrified to use the roads, because we might be run over. That's terrorism. They even told us it's our own fault when we die, because using the roads is "jaywalking".
