Too Fast!

Came across this scene a couple of Sundays ago, next to Heathrow airport.
Someone travelling a bit too fast has managed to mangle two sets of railings and doubtless didn’t do their vehicle any good either!
The lower photo shows it is a gentle curve as you approach a set of traffic lights, behind me, so it probably encourages people to keep their speed up. There is a sign warning of the traffic lights, but I guess once you’ve seen one sign you seen them all!
It does make me feel that these railings are all about corralling pedestrians.

@anya12adwi Despite being laid out as required, it is confusing. I guess we have just gotten used to it

I wonder how long after they get fixed, they will get mangled again.

@thislittlepennyearns Can't say I've heard the term girl racers, but they are likely out there!

@Ronrybs Ha. By boy racers do you mean anything with male appendages?

Speeders..no good. What a mess they made. Lucky they didn't hit anyone.

i hope there weren't any pedestrians walking there and also that the person driving is fine. maybe he/she learns something from that mistake.
