So, nobody there noticed what a horribly bad place that is for a parking spot?! Incredible lunacy!
I mean... A daycare built so that cars are regularly parked 5 metres from where the smallest children are playing, hood towards the children. How blind can you be to the danger?!
Wait until you find out about sidewalks. Ridiculously dangerous.
(The problem is the car, not the building design.)
See these things that separate the cars from the people? That's what could have prevented this.
Bollards would have prevented this…
The building design ignored the danger of the cars because cars are holy.
Sidewalks are a very different thing, because cars drive parallel to them, not perpendicular. In T-intersections they do drive perpendicularly to the sidewalk, but not that close. Of course accidents happen in them as well, but this one was so clearly preventable by not having parking places at such a spot. Or at least putting a little bit of concrete in between to stop any rampant cars.
But cars are so safe! /s
Not even an ugly cement block to stop anyone or anything
