  • Additional Information (if any): I noticed these on the neaby list during te review of some mosiac tiles. These are normal vehicle barriers that should have never been accepted as wayspot. I don’t understand why my report was rejected

First, I am puzzled…

The wayspot image does make them look more ornamental.

Looking on street view they are all over the place so definitely some sort of barrier but they don’t seem to be suitable for that job…

  • Large gaps where cars could get through.
  • Would be hard to see when reversing.
  • Whats wrong with using the standard upright bollards.

They are a barrier to persuade people not to park there. I guess the town planners (or someone local with a little bit of influence) wanted to use something that was less obtrusive than bollards but had the same effect.

The photo was clearly taken to make them look artistic, which sways towards being an abusive submission. The wayspot should have been removed when reported on the basis of not being remotely eligible.

Totally agree but they don’t seem to be suitable for the job.

  • You could park a bus on the bit where the motor bikers head is and the “bollards” would do nothing.

  • As someone who reversed a Transit Van in to a standard type bollard (many years ago) I can see these causing damage often…

OP: Hopefully staff will see this post and take another look.

Good Luck.

Maybe they trust people in that area to park sensibly and not abuse the bollards. There are definitely areas in Sheffield where that wouldn’t work, but this is the Netherlands so maybe they do things differently over there :slight_smile:

I think they’re meant to protect the sidewalks/pedestrians and to prevent cars from parking but also using the sidewalk to let other vehicles pass. I think they are more not mark a “don’t park/drive here” area than to physically prevent drivers from doing so
