Just had an 'off the cuff' statement from the source that were responsible for the idea, design and implementation of these bollards:-
'Suppose this is the video of the idiot crashing his car into the bollards on Corporation Street. There are signs for about half a mile saying 'Corporation Street/Cross Street closed 11 am/7pm to cars. Buses Only. Automatic Bollards.' Then there is red/green light system on Corporation Street outside the Next Store. It's quite simple, green = go, red = your car is about to get smashed up by a 4 foot high metal bollard .. Idiots'
