This summer the Municipality of Kifissia received a new delivery of bollards, you know - those handy posts for preventing cars driving on pavements.
But it seems no-one read the "Directions for Use" on the box!
In the Nea Kifissia neighbourhood you can find this bizarre bollard-chicane, presumably designed to slow down fast-walking pedestrians.
What were they thinking?
Well, sure, it might cause some problems to the pizza-delivery boys on their mopeds, but what about the wheelchair user and pram-pushing parents? Pavements are for people!
You can get the full background (in Greek) at Makis Polis' blog, here:
