And looking at the placement of them in the article’s pictures, it doesn’t seem quite right to me. They look like they’d be easy to run into.
Comment on A Utah city is removing raised traffic-calming measures on a busy road after backlash from residents

These “mountable islands” might be good in theory but it looks like the city did absolutely nothing to make them easily visible. I’ve seen similar things around my own city and its almost as if the traffic engineers want to cause vehicle damage and dangerous maneuvers as you often can’t see these obstacles until you’re about to crash into them.

In my area they are often accompanied by wooden policeman stands to indicate the new obstacle. Though they usually take them away after a year or so and only sometimes leave behind a proper sign.
