Yet of course, the poor pedestrians, upon seeing a vehicle leave the road, mount the kerb and head towards them, intuitively seek out a solid object to shelter behind to avoid being killed - only to have the "solid" object swept away. In some ways it would be better not to even have that object there as it offers a false sense of security. It's part of a sick mentality that places more importance on liability and costs for damage than on human life.
