I have to say I have a whole new respect for you BBB. I love your solution. I’m from California, so I know all about K-Rails, and how even big trucks can hit them, and they don’t move an inch. They are the greatest invention for traffic control. I have also witnessed the little car meets noxious speedbump airborn event, way to funny. The shock, pain, and then realization they are screwed is too amusing.

I only wish I had that sort of authority. There’s something deeply satisfying in checkmating idiots.

Respect ++, BBB. :)

Gotta love the k-rail! We used it a ton at the Port of Long Beach, to keep inattentive longshoremen from pulling containers the wrong way, am sure it’ll deter any speedsters.

@Minos: Glad to see I wasn’t the only one to take it as a challenge from the clues given to locate the parking lot in question and admire BBB’s handiwork from geosynchronous orbit.

It looks to me as if the current Google snapshot has the barrier in mid-construction, with two segments of wall in place.

ahahaha

I think the signs should say “Trespassers will be egged” and you should place a community basket of eggs on the picnic table.
