jesus fuck! thats some medieval shit! in some places we have "tire spikes" (USA)
those poles are awesome! the only thing is that so many kids are so selfish and entitled, that we would have them blacked hourly because of turds trying to run through them.
They fold down when travelling the right way over them, but pierce the tires when going the wrong way. They're not on every one-way street, but they are around. They have them on some exits to car parks too.
Those look pretty lethal. Like these they look like if someone fell on them they'd get maimed, they would probably be illegal under EU safety regulations. Soon, maybe we'll get some decent ones like you guys.
Those look pretty damn vicious, lol. The ones I linked to can at least be retracted. Then again, smaller, one way versions of the one you just linked have been in car-parks around here since forever and nobody's managed to off themselves on them (that I know of). If so, well, cleansing the gene pool, lol.

It's bollards, they come up from the ground to stop cars.

like just shoot up from the ground? or are they like "speed bumps"?

Automatic Bollards are like iron posts that retract into the ground to allow certain traffic through

We have spikes too, they're used to stop people travelling the wrong way down a one-way street.
