Part of the problems is humans won’t damage the paint on the cars. You want drivers to slow down, make them worry about their paint tends to be more effective than making them worry about hitting a pedestrian.
I’m wondering if this is sheer desperation on the part of the locals. Maybe speeding is a problem, but the town refuses to install speed humps, so people do this to make the neighborhood safer for children. I don’t know.
Maybe they do it to slow down traffic. It’s clearly a residential area. It could be that speeding is a problem.
It’s been tried and tested. Human bodies barely slow a car down. It’s much better to place something solid, like a concrete block

Just fill your pockets with balloons full of brake fluid. That way when someone hits you their car gets covered in brake fluid, ruining the paint job.
I was assuming a rational driver who would slow down to avoid hitting people.
And the accidental driver? A life is lost.
Using a human body as traffic calming is psycho mode zoning use change

I recommend tires and rebar impregnated concrete rubble. Not human lives.
