Still better than these abominations I saw on the official long-distance cycle routes in the UK a few years ago. Was a lot of fun unmounting all my luggage every time. And good luck with a stroller or a wheelchair.
Btw. your second picture shows, how these things are meant to be installed. ~1.5m apart, so you can easily drive around them, even when going 30kph or with a cargo bike, but not with a car.
