That's the one.
You can still vault them if you're feeling athletic, but would discourage small children and accidental walking into traffic. I've seen a lot of them in London, I must admit they do irritate me sometimes since if you want to cross the street at a certain point then you have to go to the nearest crossing, but that's just laziness on my behalf.
Then at the crossings they'd put gates up like they have at railway crossings, so if someone does vault the gate and then gets mowed down by a car, then it's clearly not the car drivers fault.
It's a lot of work for infrastructure though, so not really plausible except for perhaps blackspots.
