Ha! I’ve seen some of those too but this one is done properly.
Oh, sorry. I see them every day so I forget that others don’t have context.
It’s a set of bars designed to stop cars coming up a pedestrian lane and / or slow down bicycles at the intersection. There are two sets of bars so you have to sort of swerve through them.
Typically, as I am walking towards the sea in this picture, I grab the bars to swing right towards the town. I recently noticed that I’m not alone because one side (for folks turning right) is worn down by the friction of those hands grabbing to swing right.

Same thing happens to bronze statues, unoe? 😏
Just a bunch of humans finding a way to carve a desire path into steel freakin’ bars
