Attack in a Christmas market in Berlin, December 19, 2016
In
recent years, many European cities such as NICE, BERLIN LONDON,
STOCKHOLM and BARCELONA, have suffered attacks with vehicles that have
rammed into passers-by and cyclists with the aim of running them over
and killing them...
Truck that was used in the tragedy of the 14/07/16, in Nice, a few hours after the attack
We
remember this attack in Nice, July 14, 2016, where the terrorist,
driving a rental truck, ran over many people who had come to see a
fireworks display on the Promenade des Anglais, killing 85 people,
injuring more than 430 and causing trauma to many, many people who
witnessed this drama.

Or,

2017, in front of the English parliament making more than 25 injured and
one dead.

on the Rambla in Barcelona, 17/08/17
This
technique used is explained because the terrorists who want to act have
difficulty in finding weapons, and for that, will use means easier for
them to dispose of, such as their own car, or a rented vehicle, or the
use of kitchen knives to commit their crimes ... This technique is
called Terrorism "Low cost"

Truck that hit pedestrians in Stockholm on 07/04/2017
A note from the research center of the french Gendarmerie Officers School indicated
in 2015, that in the face of "low cost" terrorism, the modus operandi,
by its simplicity, does not allow to detect warning signs. (...) Before
taking action, the assassin is invisible in his movements. The attacker
blends in with the crowd or the flow of traffic until the act is carried
out, which favors the surprise effect.
You can find in this article of the Express of March 23, 2017, the theorization of these techniques by Al-Qaeda and the history of these attacks whose preferred targets by terrorists are the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Israel.

Police forces intervening in Borough Market on 03/06/2017
We
remember the attack in London on June 03, 2017, in "Borough Market"
where three terrorists, after mowing down several pedestrians, came out
with knives to attack the crowd. It was the response provided in less
than 8 minutes that put an end to this attack thanks to the speed of
intervention
by the forces of law and order:

Concrete blocks around the Place St Stanislas in NANCY, France
Faced
with these repeated attacks, the authorities of many countries have put
in place means to protect their population, by blocking certain places
to avoid circulating as concrete blocks.

In the emergency, some of these blocks which were initially intended
for public works,

Protection cables along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice
For
others, as here in NICE, the City Council has installed a system to
protect the entire Promenade des Anglais with steel cables of 20 mm in
diameter over 1300 meters, all fixed on a reinforced concrete base.
Removable protection posts on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice
As
well as means to prevent any vehicle from going up the Embankment. More
than 190 fixed bollards of 90 cm high, 32 removable and 19 retractable
have been put in place to prevent any vehicle from climbing up.
Blocks of the brand BLOCSTOP
Companies will specialize as here a French company with the brand "BLOCSTOP".
Installation of blocks in Bordeaux
Its manager had explained in the daily newspaper SUD OUEST that « From
August 2016, I sought a solution that allows people, our children, to
enjoy the pleasures of life without worrying about the madness of some. »
Blocks decorated by artists in Caen, France
These blocks are designed for defensive purposes. However, municipalities decorate them to fit the urban environment.
Anti-vehicle barrier Aries
To allow residents and municipal services to access these areas, or during sports or festive events, there is also this type of barrier easy to maneuver.
Anti-ramming vehicle barrier
They allow to block the road momentarily,

And were designed to prevent car or truck to pass, by making it jump if a vehicle ran over it as we can see on this video.

RAPIDOBLOC concrete blocks
As Alain BAUER, professor of criminology and specialist in security issues, warned in early 2016, " Nous avons
sacrifié la sécurité à la rapidité : " We have sacrificed security to speed: Sun TZU (Chinese general who designed a book called "The Art of War") and VAUBAN (French engineer and military architect to the king of France) explained that to secure a space, you had to secure on the periphery, in the perimeter, and in the compartmentalization."
First of all, on the periphery: one must control as far away as possible to be alerted as soon as possible
Then in the perimeter: we must control at the most important moment to resist early.
"and finally in compartmentalization: the fact of dividing the spaces to limit the damage: if one lost a sector, one did not have to lose everything."
City of Neuf Brisach in Alsace fortified by Vauban
"We have created castles and fortresses. We have forgotten everything about securing spaces and axes. We leave opportunities to those who attack us while we should better protect to increase the professionalism of those who attack us to better counter them."
Entrance to the Lyon Fan Zone during Euro 2016
Since then, governments have increased protections. As for example with the fan-zone during sporting events or shows, with a security around the police, security agents,

as well as by military deployment in the area as with "Sentinelle" in France, "Vigilant Guardian" in Belgium, "Operation Temperer" in the UK or "Strade Sicure" in Italy.
Protective glass of the Eiffel Tower square
For tourist places, we can also see protections put, as here at the Eiffel Tower with a reinforced perimeter wall with in addition bulletproof glass,
Protection grids of the Eiffel Tower square
grids preventing the entry of ram vehicle on the square.

An entry zone control is created,

In other cities, it is the access to a street event that is protected as here in Montreal,
Anti-ramming barrier on a bridge in London
or on bridges, as here in London, where the passage is reduced to a strict minimum.
Anti-ramming barriers on the Boulevard Axis leading to Buckingham Palace
or on streets like here, still in London, on the avenue leading to Buckingham Palace, the residence of the Queen of England, and Trafalgar Square, a major tourist attraction in London.
Entrance to the rue du Faubourg St Honoré leading to the Elysée Palace
or here, the access in front of the "Elysée Palace", residence of the President of the French Republic.

Finally, cities are adapting and trying to find ways to protect their population. For example, behind this type of zone widening, as here in Paris, are hidden other reflections.
Place du Panthéon
In yellow, the new pedestrian zones, in red,
vehicle zones with less than 20 kms/h, in brown, crosswalks
In yellow, the new pedestrian zones, in red,

The primary objective here is ecological: to give priority to pedestrians by reducing the presence of cars by half.

the vehicle zones at less than 20 kms/h, in brown, the crosswalks

But on the security side, there is an interesting logic: in case of an attack, the space given to pedestrians is more important and allows more easily a scattering and an escape.
