    Those plastic things are just for show, as part of the campaign, which is why the drivers seem surprised that they’re there. They’re not actually installed on any roads. But having them pop up as the car approaches if there’s a pedestrian on the corner makes it obvious that the car needs to stop.

      The drivers are actors, and the pedestrians probably are too. It would definitely be illegal to jump this sort of thing on drivers without their consent or knowledge.
