My guess is those pop back up when knocked over. Hard to see in the video if they are standing back up after he hits them but i think they do.
I agree he should loose his license and be charged with reckless driving.
Having seen people drive over these, they are designed to flop around for this very reason, but usually don't stand up to anything faster than walking speed unless they're brand new.
So I'm sure quite a few didn't pop back up.
Either way, I'd make them pay for the entire row and use the money to make a more permanent barrier (that'll never happen in the US)
uhh rubber does bend normally, yes, but not if you hit it at that speed. the rubber has no time to respond properly, and instead of bending, it tears apart, i think. so no, i don't think these will stand up again.
Rebuild every single one of those by hand, with concrete and rebar. Lose license permanently . Have to speak every year at high schools about anger management, inadequacy and insecurity, for life.
23rd Street, Santa Monica. August 9, 2026, a driver in a green truck runs over bollards in the protected bike lane. On August 19, Councilmember Dan Hall reports that the Santa Monica Police Department “has identified the vehicle and owner. They have had the vehicle towed for expired registration and are following up with the owner on the vandalism of public property.” @electdanhal
Santa Monica has built 119 of the 187 miles of bikeway in its Bike Action Plan. Roughly five of those miles are protected. The half-mile on 23rd Street is protected by plastic barriers called “armadillos” while other areas, such as 17th Street are protected by concrete curbs.
You got all of that wrong somehow, while extracting numbers from that one paragraph.
119 miles in total.
5 of them protected, so 114 colored lines.
Of the protected ones this half-mile with these plastic bollards, 17th street with concrete curbs. Share of bollards to curbs not explicitly disclosed.
I live near enough to know the layout and while it's mostly just colored line, the streets are still usually bike friendly, assuming you don't see this nonsense.
What SM did was actually reduce parking to the point that it forced biking or bussing (and made permits for remaining spots, lol). Driving remains is almost all single lane torture with a 25 mph limit, single because when I was a kid it was two lanes and they decided they wanted a dedicated bike lane (specifically thinking Broadway but probably others).
SM is a small place, too. A ton of those miles are in residential areas with little room for expansion.
he should be finded for every single of those public infrastructure things he hit for their full replacement value outside of whatever the standard ticket and fine is.
You have 30 minutes to move your car.
You have 10 minutes.
Your car has been impounded.
Your car has been crushed into a cube.
You have 30 minutes to move your cube.
I'd have a raffle to allow someone to hit the button to cube the vehicle, and use the money from the raffle to pay for more/stronger bike infrastructure.
The goal should be to protect vulnerable road users. Solid metal or concrete blocks would be better because they would actively prevent cars from entering the bicycle lane.
The goal should be safety. A single solid pole in a line of breakaway poles is spiteful.
I was thinking they should be connected with a steel cable at the bottom, and a hook inside the plastic shell, so if a car hits them, they grab on and start slowing the car down.
No. Each post should be solid enough to stop, or significantly slow a car on its own. They need to be built to protect vulnerable road users from cars. Slowing the cars gradually does not do that.
Cables under tension can snap back which makes your idea even more dangerous than just a concrete block.
Eh, there are genuine situations where you don't want to stop the vehicle immediately, like say if this trucker came up on the other side and pushed the filming car into the bike line. Having a controlled line that brings the vehicle to a stop is much safer than having concrete and steel barriers that just shred the car and the occupants. Similar cable systems are already installed to stop cars, so the engineering has been done to prevent those dangerous snap-backs.
Those systems are designed to dissipate the forces by crumpling and creating debris that is thrown away from the middle of the road. The crash panels at the start of cable systems and guardrails are designed to launch debris in a colission. Incredibly dangerous for cyclists or pedestrians, which is why they are installed at road edges. They are completely unsuitable to be barriers between different types of traffic.
Highway medians are almost always concrete walls. There is a reason those cable systems are not used between lanes of traffic.
Yet far more situations where you'd want to stop the car immediately. What's worse in your scenario, a few people in the car potentially getting injured or killed, or multiple pedestrians and cyclists getting mangled by 2 cars?
Which scenario is more likely? A car having a lane departure event, or a car having a lane departure event at the exact moment the area next to them is packed with cyclists and pedestrians?
Seeing how this truck managed to go for a mile or so in the bike lane without hitting anyone, I'd definitely err on the side of a car going into the bike lane being more probable than a car going into the bike line right next to a whole bunch of cyclists.
Every road is different, and the protections for the people on the roads should be based on how those roads are being used. This road has a bike lane, and it should make sufficient protections for the cyclcist AND the drivers. If the road had way more cyclists, or cycling was becoming more prevalent, it would make sense to put in better infrastructure to protect that use in those areas. You'll note that not every railroad crossing has a dedicated bridge going over it, or armature, or lights, or even a signal. Those protections are put up based on how frequently the crossing is used and weighed against the damage of an accident there. Simply put, that road doesn't have the cycling demand to build dedicated infrastructure, but there is definitely enough demand to make sure that a truck can't just brodoze down the lane.
Excuse me, as someone with a small package I would never do this.
They've got "pathetic whiny bitch energy" though. Probably complains about woke DEI antifa bike lanes to other dudes who take low angle photos in their trucks with oakleys on.
Excuse me, as someone who whines like a bitch, I would never do this.
They've got "grandma who can't find the lane energy" though. Probably complains about technology to other grandmas who blast shopping shows with bifocals on.
and this is why I couldnt give a single fucking shit about any law that says bikes cant be on sidewalks/must be on roads or whatever.
because every fucking car is a hostile, imminent threat to a person on a bike.
And even the sidewalk isnt that safe, I've personally been on a sidewalk that had 4 feet of grass between me and the road and STILL have had assholes swerve through the verge to try and scare me/knock me down/make me crash/whatever their sociopathic intent.
edit: and yes, it was by an asshole in a truck. Its almost always an asshole in a truck.
They need tire punching dividers. It could be bollards that would be fine if a person hits them but would crack under the weight of a car to reveal a nice nail spike.
No, just put a goddamn wall in. large enough so a vehicle cant roll over it, thick enough so a vehicle cant crash through it, and heavy enough so an impact cant push it.
Last thing i wanna do is deal with an asshole who suddenly had their tires blow up and lose all control
If you were paying 2k a month on a luxury truck loan to pay 6 bucks for a gallon of gas to go 11 miles at traffic speeds slower than a bike on the shoulder, you too would be incredibly stupid and irate.
Also, that truck driver needs to have their license pulled indefinitely and the truck impounded. That's multiple murder attempts happening in a few minutes. I don't give a fuck if public transport sucks, or if you are crippled and can't walk anywhere. Should have thought of that before you tried to kill someone multiple times with your truck.
this is hilarious actually. where do the posts go? they just seem to disappear. also imagine how much damage that car is gonna take. would be real funny if one of these posts was randomly steel instead of rubber lol.
Sadly seem to be rubber posts. In the Netherlands they are used in some places so emergency vehicles can ignore them and go into a otherwise "blocked off" street
They are very common in the UK - flexible bollards are widespread here to prevent damage to vehicles after the inevitable collisions. Using them to separate cars from bike lanes is also common - and says the quiet part out loud: https://startsafety.uk/collections/flexible-bollards
Those bollards are made from recycled tires they'll just pop back up, Dodge Ram is risking a wreckless driving charge for nothing. What a fucking asshole.
If those delineators are hit with such speed, many of them will be damaged in a way they need to be replaced. For sure this shit going to cost some money for the tax payers.
That guy is an arsehole in a truck he only bought to try to compensate for his tiny dick. People in those trucks exist only to irritate the hell out of the rest of us.
(Don't get too happy I'm about to make you hate me)
At least he was driving down the bike line.. There's no cyclists in the bike lane, they're too busy on the footpath screaming at pedestrians to get out of the way or get run over.
I hate cyclists equally as much as I hate truck drivers, Van drivers and Tesla drivers.
