This should be the standard in greater LA.

Santa Monica can do it. Why can’t Los Angeles?

    Yes, that’s my point, there are actual bollards elsewhere on this stretch of bike lane, and I’m proposing actual bollards on this curb.

    I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, how are so many people misunderstanding this?

    These are the actual bollards I’m referring to. Fuck me. Why does everyone assume I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about. I know what a fucking actual bollard looks like. It’s a concrete post with a rebar center that extends down into the base concrete/asphalt underneath. It’s the whole reason I used the word “bollard.”

    I’m definitely not talking about these worthless things:

    My point is those curb markers are not enough, as evidenced by one already being run over and torn away. Which is once again why there should be actual bollards there.

      I may be wrong, but those white markers aren’t actual bollards either. They’re still plastic tubes with reflective tape. I don’t think they’d stop a car from driving through.

        They look like standard plastic lane markers to me. They’re designed to be fairly cheap and are therefore certainly not going to slow down any four wheeled vehicle.

        I’ve seen some filled with cement, bu I don’t think you’re actually supposed to use them that way.
