   Because we don't even know what they are. Now you are saying they are are   
   "traffic barriers." Barriers against what. Are cars crashing into corners?   
   Probably we would be better off with some rubber bumpers. I've seen that   
   design on highway dividers.   
      
   I don't see a tag saying corruption anywhere but the price tag must be quite   
   high. And then you are asking cyclists to pay their way.

   It just makes them stupid. And why would they build something stupid?   
      
   I think I smell corruption.
