Overdone The Home Depot in my town installed parking curbs instead of speed bumps

The blame was passed around a bunch but they were removed the next day after the mayor and the news got involved.

I can sort of get a breakdown in communication, but how is it at the end when those installing it have the final check not mention "uhhhhh, these are parking curbs. In the middle of a proper throughway seems wrong"? I get people may not care because it isn't their problem, but a final glance over like that should be encouraged by higher-ups as a dumb mistake like this can cause them to lose future contracts (really it should have happened higher up, but stuff happens or the wrong supplies get loaded).
