In downtown London there are streets that are designated for special types of traffic only like some commercial vehicles and busses. well some Englanders are so audacious that they will try and get around these barriers with disaterious results. i cannot imagine the havoc that would ensue if they used something like this in the states. good stuff,

here in the states we would just have a sign that says something like commercial traffic only or busses only. well over there they figured out that a sign just isn't enough so they installed these traffic control pillars that will only allow the right type of vehicle. sadly though there are people over there who still think that they can beat the system and tailgate a bus through them often to their own car's demise.

here is a better video of the same type of device used for a slightly different purpose

wow, that made me want to cry for a sec there. That was so scary. But in the end, I know now never to mess with one of those.
