They’re among the deadliest but you still have things like Drop Bears to worry about. You can see one being handled here with the appropriate protective gear. Note how it reflexively begins seeking its next potential prey in this frame captured just before the carnage unfolded. The rest of the video is out there but I don’t recommend looking for it*.
Designer probably got a dimension wrong on the drawing, and the pavers went “Alright, we’ll do it exactly as you say. Teach you to proofread next time…”
As a builder, I can’t even begin to tell you how often I’ll come across something like that and ask the question only to get some ego driven response that you can tell they didn’t even review the situation.
‘as per the drawings boys’ can be a gratifying direction to give when you have the appropriate responses to CYA.
I feel like there may be a reason to this. It looks like the flowers got recently moved. Maybe it was in the way of the main footpath that sees the most traffic? I can see it getting moved if people repeatedly tripped over it at night or when drunk.
If you protect the drunks you also protect the visually impaired, those with lacking motor skills, the chronically absent-minded, and Smombies. I do hope we protect the drunks.
Pretty sure that’s not a movable planter. It’s literally a circle of bricks around a hole in the paving so you can plant flowers in the soil underneath. It’s not something you can push around. They built it like this, on purpose.
There is 100% a reason for this. Because it takes days, if not weeks, to build out a feature like this. And even the most autopilot zero shits given county worker will realize something is “off”. And, more importantly, realize that someone is likely to see it before they finish and insist they do it again.
I don’t buy the “in the way of the footpath” since that seems to be where a lot of paths converge.

Remember kids, shitty code isn’t shitty until you find out how it came about.
Definitely an Afrikaaner word. It’s also the name of an elevated bridge in the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens in Cape Town that goes through trees. It looks like and is named after the snake!
The only time I ever saw one of these was as the side exit to our local Zoo. However it was part of the fence and right next to this thing was a gate that could be opened by staff (probably for Accesibility and maintenance reasons). Puting this as the entrance to a cafeteria is just useless…
