On: Bollards: Why and What

[slow_typist]

How about 10 bollards per sold car, you can probably get away with $ 1k per bollard (including installation), most cars cost a multiple of 10k. Let‘s see how far that gets you. You can of course modify the bollard tax by car weight or by price.

So $10K extra per car? Assuming we're talking the US here where the average price of a new car is under $50K, that's more than a 20% bollard tax.

The average price is really that low? Do you have any pointers/data?

This Fortune article[0] lists an average as of January of $47,338, I believe based on Kelley Blue Book.
