:lol:

You can tell all of those cars knew they weren't supposed to be going through there, but still tried to do it. The first car backed up and waited for a bus, and the second car only hit so hard because they were flying to try to get over in time.

Great video.

Looks to be a mixture of being partly pedestrianised, and also preventing cars from using it as a rat run.

A minor road used as a short cut instead of people using the main roads.

Haha, I just love those things. Cities are full of 'm here, so I've seen some of these accidents as well. I don't feel sorry for those people, because they know they're not allowed to use that road; those poles aren't just decoration.
