Of note: Only applicable if you compare single brick thickness serpentine wall to a standard wall that uses double thickness (and therefore double the bricks)
That seems really dangerous next to a road. Any car that wanders off will have a hard collision against those folds instead of glancing off a flat wall.

It uses fewer bricks
It's not about cosmetics, it's just cheaper

While originally designed for efficiency, it can be both.

Ah. I have seen that page before, via the "types of wall" category when I looked up ha-ha.

The wall is older than the existence of cars.

Yeah have we considered that maybe the cars are the dangerous part of the equation?

You are really overestimating the strength of an old single row brick wall, in relation to a car. The trees behind the wall are much more dangerous...
