Transport planning is about developing road networks around specific purposes. So a major route would have a higher speed profile than a residential road. Residential roads with lower speed profiles also sometimes expect children to be playing in them and primarily be destinations.
Filtered streets (placing bollards at one end) are a key tool in rebalancing anti-social behaviour primarily caused by congestion on major routes. It is not changing the function of the road, but enforcing the original designed purpose of the road to be an end destination and not a convenient through route.
It is also significant tax saving. Residential roads are not designed for significant volumes of traffic and can suffer significant damage if they become overused.
