    They are not meant to be hit. They are meant to indicate not to drive there, and not cause damage when hit. They often separate bike lanes and sidewalks in the US. It got itself into a spot a car should not have been, then hit the bollards to get out of it. This is not a small mistake.

      They’re meant to survive hits without causing damage. They bend over. It’s flexible rubber. They do that so people making mistakes don’t cause damage.

      That looked like a turning guide but then ended. I’d have been confused too. I’d have backed out tho!

      Point is, this wasn’t dangerous or damaging. If you consider that not a small mistake, what would a small mistake be?

        Yes, they are meant to survive being hit. I already said that. They are also meant to indicate a no car zone, which it was clearly in. A small mistake would have been a slow speed bump from the side it was supposed to be in and not driving through them
