MODERATORS
It's been tried and tested. Human bodies barely slow a car down. It's much better to place something solid, like a concrete block
Part of the problems is humans won't damage the paint on the cars. You want drivers to slow down, make them worry about their paint tends to be more effective than making them worry about hitting a pedestrian.
Just fill your pockets with balloons full of brake fluid. That way when someone hits you their car gets covered in brake fluid, ruining the paint job.
I was assuming a rational driver who would slow down to avoid hitting people.
And the accidental driver? A life is lost.
