To understand this approach you have to understand that the underlying infrastructure planning for a good 60 years now has been to account for every accident a moron in a car might make to the detriment of everybody else and people have come to expect this.
Is this person being a fucking moron? Absolutely and no two ways about it, but this sentiment gains traction because we have trained everyone in a car to basically not having to pay attention.
what are you talking about they are big fucking steel chunks of death we should be making them as easy to use as possible so they don’t fucking kill people
that arrives you at the current position where what happens is due to making it extremely safe for even the most inattentive or incompetent drivers it's just someone not in a car getting killed, both on a direct and societal level.
The people who have been trained to crash into bright neon yellow orange concrete bollards also crash into other things, often times killing people not in cars.
You wann make driving a car safer for everybody, including the people at the wheel, you give them narrow, twisty roads so they never get to a speed where they kill anybody, including themselves.
If drivers are so inattentive that they hit that they hit neon bollards they'll also hit pedestrians in the crosswalk right behind it. Better they fuck up their own car from their negligence than kill someone

people who cannot avoid a giant yellow block of concrete should not be allowed to operate a car on a public road
