Bollards save lives. Drivers will occupy any space their cars can physically fit into, deliberately or otherwise.

Yeah, my "c'mon" bit was a little agressive lol. If the people demand bollards, the gov't should require bollards. Doubt they were at the time of this incident which was the gist of my argument.

The case could hinge on that. I wouldn’t be surprised if the are required in certain places given how common they are at store fronts. Though that could just be for insurance purposes.

I just looked at the store on google maps, it’s right in front of a turn, vehicles have to turn here which means moving cars are pointing directly at the store. There should definitely be bollards there. It doesn’t seem necessary for most stores in that area but it would seem obvious to anyone to put bollards there if they cared at all about pedestrian (or stores) safety.
