    "Free" airbag testing lane. That's enough to make you spill your latte'.

    I visited the White House in 1996, and at the time they had these installed in conjunction with the two gates on the North side. I'd be interested in seeing the whole unit, as we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

    A similar deterrent called a sump buster.

    To deter private cars from entering steel channel galvanised traps are located at each end of both guided bus lanes. Ipswich (UK)

    The 'sump removal' is a by-product, it's intended to align the buses wheels as it enters the lane.
