Barrier Secured with LAN Cable

A roadside barrier is held together with a LAN cable. I’m still not clear on the purpose of this barrier, however. I think it is to discourage bicycle parking, as seems to be the function of most ‘official’ barriers in the area.

Materials: LAN Cable
Location: Shibuya, Tokyo

Category: Barrier, Support/Stabilization
