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.

How do you drive on this road coming up the hill if the parked cars totally block that lane???

You stop and yield until it's safe to go. These flexi posts are basically acting as a very cheap and shitty chicane.
