Here in Essex, UK, the county refuses to add coloured surfacing because of the initial expense and the cost of maintenance.<br />WillWillie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745553398286725511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-63149298022646504442011-09-16T11:11:13.487+02:002011-09-16T11:11:13.487+02:00In Berlin,"forgiving curbs" are mainly u...In Berlin,"forgiving curbs" are mainly used by cyclists either going the wrong way and detouring around right way cyclists, or just to pass other cyclists. So then they enter the pedestrian space. This is because the paths are too narrow. So, a forgiving curb is bad for pedestrians when a path is too narrow.Slow Factoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056080802746709323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-2527294190222737522011-09-15T22:14:46.358+02:002011-09-15T22:14:46.358+02:00@Mark

They are a response to 'excessive and unnecessary signs' on our landscape but I think the point is lost on most people.<br /><br />I like the red stop sign with the word "GO" instead of "STOP" on it. :)Paul Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828401001732920598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-50238060705089408332011-09-15T21:32:26.935+02:002011-09-15T21:32:26.935+02:00@Paul you're welcome!

When next I'm in The Netherlands I must visit your home town.<br /><br />One other striking observation when looking at these videos and indeed when riding in The Netherlands was the distinct lack of visual pollution. There just aren't thousands of road signs/warning signs/advertising signs ruining the view.

But in this case YouTube decided to make them public when I uploaded them as unlisted and people started commenting right away. The only option you then have is make them totally invisible. Because they are already in numerous lists.
