And if you're a cyclist down Mill Rd, I'm hoping you're a conscious one, and don't stick in the middle of the road or randomly forget to indicate where you're going. I sometimes wish I could run the students over.... No Karen, I don’t believe the bollards are meant to let anyone through who isn’t a taxi or bus.

However, they have to reach the top first. Your registration plate is photographed if you proceed through, if you reverse and leave it isn't. Of course, if you try and rush them then you'll get impaled on it. There's been loads of accidents all around Cambridge regarding these bollards, it's just a combination of greedy, dumb, blind and stupid drivers who seem to get caught by them. I cycle through Cambridge, as a student, going from College to College, it's the only sane mode of travel! The bollards will let you though if you wait. However, they have to reach the top first.

They come back up as soon as the permitted vehicle has passed, so even the fastest driver isn’t going to have much luck. The Manchester Evening News reports some folk being taken to hospital and cars being written off. A 63-year old man died in Cambridge after crashing into one. This is all somewhat ironic given, according to another report in the paper, the bollards were introduced “on a trial basis because of the street’s high casualty rate.” [...] [...] As you can see from the video, getting impaled on a bollard is not fun.
