look. Run over, robbed and set on fire: war rages over Britain’s ‘most hated barrier’ | outside

The traffic barrier on London’s Howard Street should ensure that less traffic can pass through the area. But this does not include motorists who want to take a shorter route. They simply knocked over the barrier, or worse … Last summer, a traffic camera recorded how the barrier was set on fire, knocked over or even robbed several times. But the city has now taken matters into its own hands. Instead of a plastic post, there are now two steel posts. Motorists are unlikely to drive over it.
