Car Killer Curb: UK’s 35cm Obstacle Sparks Debate – Driver Error or Design Flaw?

The curb, intended to improve pedestrian safety, has ironically increased accidents, especially on a tight corner near the train station. Local authorities plan to modify the road layout to reduce accidents. Parallels are drawn to a ridiculed road marking scheme implemented in Pennsylvania.
