On highways? No. On high-traffic sidewalks? Yes! It it were up to me, every corner downtown would be guarded by bollards. The idea that pedestrians should eat the risk to be a sacrifice zone for bad drivers is just bonkers. Like here's an idiot cop who can't make a right turn. If that telephone pole hadn't stopped them, they would have creamed the bus stop. I 100% privilege the safety of people minding their own business waiting for a bus over a driver who seems to not be safe to operate a vehicle. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/02/26/police-cruiser-crash-downtown-toronto-sidewalk/ https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/02/26/police-cruiser-crash-...

TBH - I favour a change in the laws. If you are driving along an occupied sidewalk, you should have a positive obligation to stay off it. That means both hands on the wheel, no drinking a coffee, no phones. If you wind up on the sidewalk, you have to prove there's good cause -- you got hit, cut off, etc. As it is, we consider in reasonable behaviour to just screw up and drive into a store.
