if tree falls and injures someone, it's also act of god...

[Albeniz]

These tree were probably transplanted from elsewhere and were not deep-rooted to the ground. In the event of a rain, they are likely to be the first to give way, causing great inconveniences.

But these trees are not there originally. God didn't grow them there.

They are probably transplanted on the roads for better greeneries. It is more a human act.
