if i drive my car into a concrete barrier, i would probably blame myself for driving into a concrete barrier as opposed to blaming cyclists and those pesky city officials for installing said concrete barrier

No, it was the angled barriers at the entrance that some reckless drivers managed to flip their cars on.

Dude, if multiple cars are doing it in a single month, you can’t simply blame recklessness. That’s insane. I don’t know whether the angled barrier was added on brattle st or not, but either way it demonstrates the obvious problem-people are unfamiliar with these things, they’re not visible enough, and they’re causing accidents. The lawsuits these things will generate are going to be wild.

If anyone is driving their car fast enough on brattle to flip it they should have their licenses taken away
