This may sound crazy, but what if, now hear me out - what if they removed the stop sign?

Probably would just start hitting people

There are parking lots all over without poles. Yet somehow it's not mass pedestrian-cide.

I mean, there are lots of poles that don't get hit either.

Yeah - could be. I can't picture a lot of these parking lot poles, but I'm sure you're right.

This one, however, is clearly in a place that just lands in people's blind spots or something. This is like collision #27. I think we know this is a bad idea now, but they just keep rolling it back out hoping it won't happen again.

The pole is there to stop people from cutting through that disabled parking area.

Ok. Put in a curb and some shrubbery to separate it? I dunno. I'm no parking lot architect, I just know there are poleless parking lots everywhere.

Yeah that's how a lot of places do it. I don't get how you can miss this though...

Or anywhere... They're dedication to keeping this pole is impressive!!

Nah, just let people keep running into it. It's doing the world a favor by at least temporarily taking people off the roads who probably shouldn't have driving licenses in the first place and giving wake-up calls to people who have just gotten careless.

No it’s not. It’s a pole for the stop sign. Many other big parking lots do not have those in the disabled area.
