This was doing the rounds a few months back.
There's no reason for them to hit the bollards unless they're not looking where they're going.

I saw this a while ago, the council narrowed the road and made it a bit tight, and now those who cant see straight keep hitting the bollards and writing their cars off.

Edit:
Or from another angle, it looks like the motorists are driving on the pavement to avoid the island and bollards.

All uphill said:
Maybe I'm cynical but it is interesting that a camera angle has been chosen in such a way that we can't see what's happening.

A bloke put up the camera on his house.
What do you want him to do ? Stand filming on the pavement 24/7 for you ?

It's not like the bollards are leaping out into the road is it ?

Apparently my car is 5'9" wide so yeah it's narrow but not impossibly so.

That truck in the first picture never got through that gap if the sign is correct. My last motorhome would not have managed either as the actual width was 7ft 2ins and that is not allowing any clearance.

The set up is designed to stop Woodend Ave being used as a rat run for goods vehicles on the A405.

The only thing stopping sub 7 foot cars using it is drivers' failure to (a)judge the gap and (b) reduce speed accordingly.
