Those are aweful. My city also tried adding 3ft highly-reflective spring posts right next to and in the vehicle lanes which mirror almost all the headlight beam back as a blinding dazzle. Between the two of those a driver couldn't see anyone walking in the crosswalk. So much worse. Did they even do a test case for viability? BTW Those posts didn't last long. After a month or two of getting mowed down at least five times a day, and damaging many cars, they tore out naturally and never got replaced.
