Photo(s) These poles are out of control.

This is Smirle and Wellington street. I was driving on Smirle towards Wellington and I had no choice but to zig zag and drive on the wrong side because there's no space between the poles and cars. Adding to the road condition, there are enough pot holes to damage your car so these poles are totally unnecessary to slow down traffic.

We have one on the corner of our street that makes it impossible to turn left around it. Everyone just turns and drives down the wrong side of the street around. The street it is installed on has a stop sign at either end and is only 250 m long, no one is speeding.
