“PSA: These vehicular death traps have been installed on every block of 9th Street NW between H and E Streets NW.”

“Dear PoPville,

I knew they had been installed, but others didn’t because twice today, cars almost slammed into my driver’s side, trying to get over at the last second and avoid running into these.

Why on earth would DDOT install these pedestrian corrals(?) in the middle of a lane on a busy thoroughfare like 9th Street?”

Steeb sums it up succinctly:

“WHY IS THIS SHIT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ALREADY CROWDED STREET!!???”
