If they wired that right (Or rather very wrong) you could turn on the lights by just bridging the screws with your flesh!

How do you wire that up? Don't both screws attach to the same metal enclosure? I'd assume they would be at the same voltage.

two single-gang metal boxes, right side one grounded properly, left side one ungrounded and with the hot screw on the side of the switch bumping against the side of the box.

Yeah, that's a person I wouldn't drive around. I already have to deal with one rear end in a top hat at work who doesn't look when he backs up. Thankfully he's the only real idiot and we all know to keep our eyes on him. When going forward I'm basically never going without moving my head left to right so I don't have blindspots.

Safety! Seriously those blue lights have helped reduce a lot of close calls, especially on forklifts backing out of racks. Everybody and their mother is throwing blue lights all over their lifts now.

Our lifts have blue lights for front and reverse and red side lights, they are extremely good for increasing situational awareness as a pedestrian Someone got fired for tilting the red side lights to point upwards recently

That bollard looks like its already been hit at the top at some point. I've seen the blue lights on Forklifts a few times when I've done jobs i warehouses. Only when reversing, but still when I saw a couple going around like that annd saw them in action I was all  Good fuckin idea. Those fork fuckers were bombing around everywhere. Fast too.

I have a question, having watched that forklift-fuckery about a dozen times scrolling around the thread, just on this page - I really don't know much about bollards, other than they serve as a barrier for poo poo running into other poo poo, like a car ramming into a bank. And there are hilarious bollards, like the ones in the UK that will surprise-ruin a vehicle if you drive over while they're ostensibly retracted. What are bollards made of and how far down into the earth are they planted? Because every gif/video I've seen of anything hitting a bollard results in the bollard shrugging at best, and the offending vehicle having the worst day ever.

Depends on what the bollard is supposed to stop. A K12 rated bollard can stop a 15k lb truck going 50mph. They don't actually have to be that deep https://www.tymetal.com/crash/crash-bollards/tfb-80trb-80bollards/

Fixed bollards can either be buried or bolted down to the ground depending on the application- usually the buried ones are a thick pipe that is buried about 6" with a filler like concrete. Decorative and removable bollards exist as well and provide more of a visual barrier with no real ability to take an impact.

I've seen removables that go into a casement that's buried pretty deep, might not stop a loaded truck at full speed but seems like it'd do a good job against an idiot in a sedan.

They're also there to stop people from driving on the sidewalk deliberately, because that's the world we live in now. Belatedly added on bike/running paths in NYC for example.

They're usually a requirement in all lanes where parking access control equipment is installed in garages due to the alarming driver tendency to drive into anything and everything nearby the lane, such as gate operators, terminals, attendant shacks, technicians, installers, cars in the other lane, etc..
