NYC Street Design Manual

Granite and concrete blocks are installed as part of Operational Projects as hardening in order to provide safety for pedestrians. Many granite blocks have been repurposed from bridge rehabilitation projects across the City. These blocks are a sustainable solution that integrates seamlessly into New York City’s urban environment. NYC DOT also purchases new blocks when needed.

    In my area they raised the issue that crashing into them could injure or kill the driver lol.

      They should also remove houses and all other buildings, way to dangerous if a driver crashes into them.

          Doesn’t it bother you when the random tree just decides to cross the road with no notice? Especially in corners.

            What bothers me even more is when they stand there waiting as if they are about to cross. I mean make a decision and stick with it for once.
