    It’s not (just) that; it’s that engineers incorrectly apply forgiving design and breakaway design principles for the benefit of drivers by default without really stopping to appreciate that a bike lane isn’t a valid space space for cars and needs to be unforgiving instead.

    Also, flimsy plastic posts are way cheaper than proper bollards or curbs.
