I remember, maybe last year, there was city "debate" over installing bollards at intersections to protect cyclists and pedestrians. From what I recall, NIMBYs pushed HARD against the idea, saying it was "confusing" and "dangerous" for motorists...
Anything to save lives or improve safety tends to be an automatic "NO!" in most places because of NIMBYs.
That's why certain safety projects should just move forward without public input.
