The person who suggested those concrete balls is an idiot. They are not beautiful, no safe, and provide no protection for people on the beach. I've seen many accidents on Gulf Road where cars hit those concrete balls and flipped killing people in the car and pedestrians. I feel so bad for those who go jogging near The Scientific Center, it is so unprotected from the street. I agree with Mark. The person who suggested those concrete balls is an idiot.

Within an hour of instalation all the lamp post will be down cuz everyone crashed into them .. plus if its at night it would be pitch black and more cars would crash into each other!

About the convertible thats a good point but convertibles are the minority, isn't it better to cater to the majority instead? About mini's and other small cars it doesn't matter, the lamp post takes the form of the car Well they use these lamps in the US and in Europe so it must be for good reason…
