Opinions vary:
I'm all for safer streets in DC. But I agree with @SamBartfield on this. I cycled by that car yesterday on my way home and felt bad for the driver. Barriers should be visible.

It's the beginnings of a protected intersection. Will be safer for pedestrians and cyclists when it's fully complete. pic.twitter.com/J3plP20HB3

Bummer first full week for the new traffic pattern on New Jersey Avenue SE. These curbs/barriers seem to be meant to let cars make turns from I to NJA or vice versa, but they are way out in what used to be open space. @CapitolRvrFront @PoPville pic.twitter.com/udeFveJetf
