WCGW assuming your surroundings never change?

Am I crazy or are those almost a mirror finish? I cant believe that they would put posts in a road with that shine to them. As the camera passes by the car currently stuck the pole almost blends into the sky. EDIT: watch as he walks past the car currently stuck, the top of the pole blends into the sky, then of you look at the bottom it almost disappears like the pole is floating. This is an absolutely trash design and will end in a suit. There's a reason bollards are normal bright yellow. Edit 2: damn yall are wild thinking it's normal to put polished poles in the road way. The damn railing off to the side out of the road is even yellow. But you guys think it's normal for a polished finish post to be IN the road. Edit 3: Im actually fully convinced that this is 100% bad design and mostly the fault of the design itself and location near the intersection. Sure people are ultimately responsible for their vigilance while driving but this greatly increase the likelihood of an accident. Looking at the site on Google maps shows that the lane where the guy walks out from has a fairly tight turn as it is and id bet almost all the accidents occured from people making a right hand turn. If you take this right turn cutting it tight puts the center of your car straight into the pole. The pole is also pointed off to the left hand side slightly indicating they hit it at an angle. Another car it was slightly on the right side and the 3rd was far to the right(when looking at the front if it). Thats consistent with someone turning too tight. By installing these so close to the intersection you would have to swing pretty wide to make this turn. If you have made this turn 100x before and a new shiny ass pole is put where you turn i can easily see many more doing exactly this.
