There cant be traffic on it yet surely ? Re the crossings are all at 100% fail at least once . Was looking at the one to the side of Sam Webbs as told that needs lifting etc. yep the sets have moved with very little traffic , site traffic only . Not good ! 

Why can't they just paint the zebra crossings on the road like most other countries in the world*?!?

*Of countries that use zebra crossings

It's the seaside of the carriageway with the parking. Think it went down Wednesday. I was thinking the same.

It's called "deterrent paving" and is used for areas where you don't want any pedestrians, cyclists, or users at all..

Perhaps they are going to put a ring of it around Douglas to act like a modern moat🤔

I think the tips of the concrete spikes will be broken off quite quickly by BMX tyres 😀

Wasnt there somewhere in Douglas with pebbles concreted into the pavement designed to break kids ankles at some point many years ago ?

Is this "crayonista speak"....?

It looks like they've got a new pack from Dealz.  All these unconventional markings are actually dangerous because they distract drivers and give false signals to pedestrians.  Hopefully someone won't have to die this time before this is realised.

But the people drawing them think they look pretty.  Which is the important thing.
