Cement Barriers are a Thing Whose Time has Come

   Woke this morning to hearing how cement and other barriers are often used to protect against cars entering areas where pedestrians are.
   Throwing them up, then, is a more reasonable answer than what I had last night. I suggested a sensor system that shuts off engines when they enter the pedestrian area. Cement barricades, though, would be less expensive and more effective.
   Perhaps we have come to this, cement barriers lining every busy sidewalk, protecting the pedestrians from those who would tear into the crowds with their vehicles. And, perhaps it isn't such a grave inconvenience, nor expense.
   Perhaps it is just a precaution whose time has come.
