There aren\u2019t any pedestrian warning signs on either approach. Am I crazy and just never saw this before or is this a major safety hazard? I feel like a no trespassing sign and maybe a chain would be a better way to tell people not to go on property if that was their intention. I just think of kids either walking and not really looking stepping on it, or even kids on bikes not really paying attention getting seriously injured on the way out and losing air in the front and back tire causing them to fall into the street instead of being able to turn. There are ways to deter that won\u2019t cause damage, and when you do chose the damage options. Signage should be required right? Some sort of warning. <\/p>\n<p>I took photos from both directions so people can see there\u2019s no obvious pedestrian bypass. The nearby \u201cExit Only \/ Do Not Enter\u201d sign appears to be for vehicles, not people on foot.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve already submitted the photos to a local news station because I think this deserves a public safety review. At this point, I\u2019m mostly trying to understand who thought this was an appropriate solution for an elementary school walkway.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/OnlyGammasWillBanMe\"> \/u\/OnlyGammasWillBanMe <\/a> &#032; to &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/mildlyinfuriating\/\"> r\/mildlyinfuriating <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/gallery\/1usi52q\"><\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/mildlyinfuriating\/comments\/1usi52q\/elementary_school_installed_exposed_metal_spikes\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a pedestrian walkway at a public elementary school that\u2019s used by parents, students, and community members.
