No bollard is necessary on the south side because that end is nowhere near automobile traffic. Any vehicle that made it to that end of the bridge would know that they were following a golf cart path and chose to continue anyway.

On the Brownwood end the entrance is at the end of a road. You would think anyone who could pass a driving test should be able to recognize that the path is too narrow to be a road but apparently that isn’t the case. The bollard helps the more confused among us from making that mistake. I wonder what happened in this case.
