They tried this in the states, but they were riddled with bulletholes and cost too much to replace. They went back to real children, for economic and cultural reasons.
In France, to slow down traffic, they have these fake children by the side of the road

Every muscle in my body would be screaming to swerve the car into that monstrosity. Imagine seeing it at night.

I haven’t seen one yet. Maybe they don’t use them in every part of France?
