Using this logic we should have bollards at all pedestrian crossings/intersections.
Its strange how a person on a bike highlights how unsafe streets and roads are because of cars
Also, these bollars that you are referring to here are actually only called curb markers. These are to show cars or snow plows where the curb is in low visibility. They are very similar to the marlers you may see for center curbs like these.
