I honestly don't know what point you're trying to make.

I said bollards along sidewalks -- that's literally where they go.

Perhaps you don't realize that roads and sidewalks predate cars? Before cars, streets were full of horses and carriages (and manure). Children were taught to be extremely careful because horses could kick or trample them and kill them.

Streets and sidewalks weren't an invention of the automobile era.




Perhaps I didn’t and your kind and helpful comment enlightened me. Historically many people still walked on the street even with trams/trolleys/cable cars/carriages/horses on them too.

Automobiles fundamentally changed how our society conceived of the street.
