“马路上搞了一排长长的‘刀片刺网’,让人感觉有点像战场,非常不美观。”昨天,市民杨先生向晶报报料,在福田区福强路江南名苑小区外的路段,路中央近百米绿化带的护栏上多了一道长长的铁刺网。福田区城管局表示此举是为了保护绿化以及行人安全,防止市民翻越护栏横穿马路。

(ECNS) -- A barbed wire fence has been erected down the middle of a road in Shenzhen in a radical measure to stop pedestrians illegally crossing the road, reported Daily Sunshine on Wednesday.

Bearing thorns all over its spiraling body, the silver-colored fence effectively prevents pedestrians from jaywalking in Futian district of Shenzhen city, Guangdong province. Located on the median strip in the middle of the street, the fence divides the road into two opposing lanes of traffic.

However, with no overbridge within a few hundred meters along the road, pedestrians are concerned about the inconvenience posed by the barbed wire fence. People have to walk another few hundred meters simply to cross the road. In addition, the twisting and thorn-covered fence is unattractive.

However, a security officer in Shenzhen said the fence's primary purpose is to ensure the safety of pedestrians.

Meanwhile, a government official promised to reconsider the type of fence to determine if something other than the harsh-looking barbed wire could be adequate.
