Yup. If it keeps happening, maybe there’s a design flaw. Remember, nobody’s perfect all of the time so we need to design things to accommodate the mistakes people inevitably make.
It is good to design to account for stupidity, or in these cases design around known limitations (eyesight in poor conditions, visibility from a driver’s seat).
Is the rock or sign putting people in danger? I’d argue they account for stupidity by stopping the people who aren’t paying attention and shouldn’t be driving right now.
The dangerous driver is stopped on an inanimate object instead of causing an accident and no one is hurt.
Not so much morons as targeted attacks. Same reason malls (remember malls?) have those great big planters placed randomly on the floors, to stop vehicles that made it past the bollards. Defensive architecture, its a fascinating and extremely depressing subdiscipline.

The 11’8" bridge taught me that it’s always human stupidity. They have regular signs, flashing signs, sensors that automatically turn the light red if you’re too tall, and other stuff. And yet we still have regular videos of trucks opening themselves like tin cans.
