British road barriers, modeled on children, stare into you
A town in Buckinghamshire, England, has repositioned road barriers made to look like children after a resident said they were too creepy. The toddler-sized safety posts were designed to be more attention-grabbing than the standard poles, and are.
There are eight of the child-shaped bollards outside four primary schools in Iver and Iver Heath.Iver Parish Council said the bollards cost 5,395, excluding installation.In September, local resident Jonny Baker said the bollards were "creepy and hideous"."I look out of my window every morning and these are what I see. They're absolutely terrifying," he said.
Here's video of the bollards.
