- harimau777 7y agoCan you elaborate on this? It seems like they would be relatively inexpensive and effective at preventing a type of attack that would otherwise be fairly simple. That being the case I don't see much reason not to use them.
- namibj 7y agoGetting a 40ton truck isn't hard, and those are very difficult to shield against. Most deployments don't resist them. There are better ways, just look at military anti-tank bollards. Those will stop a truck, and archive what you want. They are also not as temporary, usually.
- chachachoney 7y agoUsing NYC as an example, how many casualties (which would have been prevented by bollards) happened before bollards became a fixture?
