Some places make the bike lanes car lane sized so emergancy vehicles can use them to go around car congestion

I mean, they do fit a car if you don’t mind only having a 1/2” clearance between the curbs. It’s pretty much a car lane with a line down the middle and those bars that can fold down, but lock in the middle to stop cars from entering.

Not sure I’ve ever seen an emergency vehicle in one.

I wish I had real bollards. The best my city will do is those floppy white reflective soft ones thay get flattened by a car the moment they're put up

My house came with a real bollard, a 4" diameter steel pipe embedded in concrete, to protect its corner parking lot. It's amazing how scraped up this thing is. I suppose I should put some kind of reflectors on it, but it's more amusing to imagine dumbasses running into it at the same frequency they drive up on my lawn.
