    I agree Gary, this is not about a philosophical approach to road safety or even aesthetics, this is just about cost. Justifying the removal of these barriers through anything other than economics is pointless.

    Although these barriers stop children running into the road (choice) they do not protect you from the actions of others (no choice). You can teach a child road safety but you can't teach them how to stop a motorist who has lost control running them over.

    If you really want to extend this idea that the individual takes full responsibility and no intervention (physical or morally) should take place. Then we would need the barriers or drink driving tests as everyone would take responsibility for their own actions. Of course this is nonsense as the responsible actions of an individual may not always have positive repercussions on others. Self regulation is an oxymoron.
