Perhaps a solution could be found by placing horizontal pipes across the sidewalk at approximately 12-inches height. Then sit back and enjoy. Could even be a Monty Python skit in there somewhere.
You're onto something here. I'm visualizing pop-up bollards, pipes and other obstructions that would spring forth from the landscape randomly for added challenge. For added bonus, make them controllable by other people - you pay a buck into a machine and that gives you the opportunity to push a button and make something pop up out of the sidewalk or move, just so you can entertain yourself watching other people walk into the stuff. It'd be brilliant. The revenues generated alone might be enough to help bail the Brits out of their own debt from I-wreck. . .
