Solutions are out there.
Removing the hazard is far more effective than telling people not to touch it/walk into it/crash into it.
Fences don't work in places I've experienced "family j-walking", as they are in business areas where cars and delivery trucks have to make left turns periodically down the entire street.

Its like most cars these days that they think have to yell at us every three minutes if we don't put on our seat belt. Once is enough. If I'm not wearing it after that, its because I choose not to!
