    Maybe they do it to slow down traffic. It’s clearly a residential area. It could be that speeding is a problem.

      It’s been tried and tested. Human bodies barely slow a car down. It’s much better to place something solid, like a concrete block

        I’m wondering if this is sheer desperation on the part of the locals. Maybe speeding is a problem, but the town refuses to install speed humps, so people do this to make the neighborhood safer for children. I don’t know.

          I recommend tires and rebar impregnated concrete rubble. Not human lives.
