There is a story and a picture in today's Laconia Sun. I hope the new bollards have a deep concrete base. I would guess they do.

Hmmm…those bollards look on the puny side to me. Doesn’t seem like they could stop a runaway vehicle but I could be mistaken as I’m no engineer. ��

I agree.

Worse, the pathway to the front of the restaurant is steeply downhill.

I think it's up to NHDoT to install suitable three-layer guardrails closer to the lanes of travel.

Boulders would pose the hazard of sending a vehicle into an out-of-control rollover--sending wheels, glass, doors, drivetrains, and other projectiles above and between the bollards.

Gas station bollards work satisfactorily because they're protecting against vehicles moving at walking-speeds.
