OT: Armadillo nonsense

I'd just love to see a cyclist fall over one of those.
And by the way, if an emergency vehicle can get over them, so can my car. Fuck you cyclists.

I bet they're easy to remove with a socket wrench. Around here they remove entire speedbumps - this variety:

This was also posted to alt.home.repair with many if not most in the US. I had never seen these things anywhere around to this part of the US.

A bit scary looking. I can see where it would make driver pay more attention but I can also see where they may cause more problems than they help. I guess time will tell their worth.

I doubt it, governments aren't that sensible. Take speedhumps for example, and how much criminal damage they do to suspension, making cars unroadworthy and dangerous in the process.

So the planters have nothing to do with keeping the traffic out of the cycle lane? Suspect they might keep emergency vehicles out as well...

Surely you can drive a car over tyres? After all you're driving tyres over tyres.
