What is a “bollard”?  According to Dictionary.com:  “it’s a series of short posts diverting motor vehicles”. 

In our case, it’s a “Centre of the road – speed limit bollard”.  Have you seen these around town?  It reminds you to “slow down in a residential area”, or don’t exceed the posted speed limit.  You can’t miss these BOLLARDS, because they’re literally screwed to the asphalt in the middle of the road.  I think this is a fantastic idea.  They were first implemented a few years ago, as part of a Thunder Bay “traffic calming study”.  

There are a couple of these around the corner from where I live.  

HOWEVER, my “pet peeve” is this:   DON’T PARK PARALLEL TO THIS SIGN.  How do you think a vehicle is supposed to squeeze between the sign and your car?  It’s a tight squeeze, and I would think one day, somebody is going to scrape your car, or worse.  How does someone park their car, get out and say to themselves, “yup, now that’s a great spot to park my car’?  WHAT?

Please move your car up from the sign.  That’s all.  

Cheers to a great day!
