this is hilarious actually. where do the posts go? they just seem to disappear. also imagine how much damage that car is gonna take. would be real funny if one of these posts was randomly steel instead of rubber lol.

Sadly seem to be rubber posts. In the Netherlands they are used in some places so emergency vehicles can ignore them and go into a otherwise "blocked off" street

They are very common in the UK - flexible bollards are widespread here to prevent damage to vehicles after the inevitable collisions. Using them to separate cars from bike lanes is also common - and says the quiet part out loud: https://startsafety.uk/collections/flexible-bollards
