18 examples of strange decisions when the urban environment seemed to have declared war on people (19 photos)

The urban environment and architecture should serve the benefit of people, making their lives more comfortable. But sometimes everything seems to happen the other way around: solutions that should benefit people and combat some problems end up creating new difficulties. They become inconvenient and even dangerous.





1. Bench on the lock



2. You won't sit down!





3. Very comfortable benches in the metro



4. Hold on to the handrail, don't be afraid



5. Slides that can't be used after rain



6. A great bike path



7. A bench that is on the side smooth



8. This handrail should help people not to slip



But as a result, you can accidentally hit your hands on pieces of metal. And it's good that they are not sharp. And this also happens. We have a selection of simply killer stairs, and this example is there.

9. You can't sit at this stop



10. Spikes on the stoppers to prevent people from spending time on them at night



But bumping into them by accident is not a pleasant experience.

11. A bus stop that doesn't protect you from the rain



12. A designer bench



Such dividers are often installed on benches for one purpose: to prevent homeless people from sleeping on them. But this makes them uncomfortable to sit on.

13. Cacti on benches? Great solution!



14. Need more spikes



15. A bus stop near a hospital that has no benches



16. Stoppers for skaters



17. Toilet at the station for sociable people



18. Half the stairs lead to nowhere
