Accidentally correct.

Gosh! What have we here?  A crash barrier that actually protects cyclists and pedestrians,  BUT it ain't that clever because the barrier was put in place long before the cycleway was thought of. The fact that it is where it is, is purely accidental.

Vehicle Restraint Team

Vehicle Restraint Team

Driving along the A28 in Ashford some workmen were observed busy at the side of the road.  Their large white van was signwritten (with great pride):-  "VEHICLE RESTRAINT TEAM" 

What a grand title!   What they were actually doing was installing a crash-barrier.

So their brief is to 'restrain vehicles'  nothing to suggest that they should protect other road users.  Especially pedestrians.  Set-belts could come under the description of  "Vehicle Restraints".  National Highways also refer to 'road restraints', how does one restrain a road?

What about changing their name and job description  to "Protecting other road users and pedestrians"?

Restraining vehicles ought to mean: "Slowing them down" ought it not?

Brakes are restraints.
So are wheel clamps
