I hope they put bollards across both ends.

Security theatre. Good for headlines but pointless as a security measure as it just means any would-be terrorist has to drive an extra few hundred yards before finding an unguarded pavement or children queuing at a bus stop.

They have no option but to throw money at it for appearances' sake. They wouldn't be able to even estimate how much the world has spent on anti Islamic terrorism measures over the last decade. Certainly enough to drag a few struggling African countries into self sufficiency.

its very true ramruna
but a bus stop has an escape route whereas a bridge does not |
|
By:
There was an escape route either side in Nice Donny. If someone wants to kill a good few they don't need a bridge.
|
|
By:
there isnt an easy escape either side in nice, in some places there is a drop onto the pebble beach with a main road on other side
sadly they will find a way but at least protecting bridges is a good move else its fish in a barrel |

Interesting this. If you look at countries like Afg and Iraq who had war recently, you may notice these barriers spring up everywhere in the name of security, though mostly to protect important installations or foreign workers/troops. The way things are going on in the UK, this might become a norm. And the best part is people won't even object.

They will m8, we're a bit slow to rouse these days, but we'll get sick of it sooner or later.

Next time you are out, look around for how many places there are where you could kill half a dozen people simply by swerving a van or 4x4 onto the pavement.

There just for the cricket apparently. No doubt when the football season starts they will be there just for the football. When the cricket starts again they will be there for the cricket again. We all know the real reason they are there though. As far as I know there has never been a serious accident involving fans and traffic. I am guessing that there will more accidents with fans stepping over these barriers to take a shortcut and tripping over. |

Beautiful, a fine architectural addition to any old City.

we've had bollards up here for years to deter the ram raiders

Is that when they branched into controlling the I/R markets?

By:
The barriers are less of an eyesore than that white office block.
 |

By:
Not to mention the industrial-size cracks in that pavement.
|

By:
Yes they could do with a re-slab here
how many claims has there been of late for injuries on this bridge ? If this was the 90s people would be suing whoever owns this bridge daily. |
|
By:
A load of bollards.

They would be better going to the root of the problem. Where it originates from. But no one has the guts to do it.
This will continue forever until hegemony is achieved. |
