I honestly did not even see the subway entrance at first glance.

Honestly it always irritates me with how streets and roads are designed in North America, we pave over everything flat, to allow vehicles traffic unimpeded access everywhere.

Center mediums, curbs, and bollars need to come back. Paint is not a barrier or safety feature. These things are what is referred to as "traffic calming".

Its also the exact reason why in North America cars driving into buildings is so common.

Examples of "traffic calming" features.

Worth a watch showing the disparity in what is considered traffic calming in North America vs Amsterdam.
