My hometown did this in the late 90's, added three barriers across intersections to cut a neighborhood in half. Here's someone recently suggesting removing them to alleviate traffic on the main north/south road (under construction for the last two years or so), but I doubt anything would happen to them: https://www.centredaily.com/news/local/community/state-college/article210701259.html https://www.centredaily.com/news/local/community/state-colle... Traffic bound for North Atherton (bottom left of map) has to go down to the intersection with Park instead of taking Allen. Easy enough to take a bike through them, I used to ride that way regularly in to campus. But I think it's worked well to not have cars shortcutting through the neighborhood at high speeds.
