This usually alarms and confuses tourists. “Cats eyes” are raised motorway safety lenses that reflect headlights – When the tarmac is re-laid they need to be removed and replaced once the tarmac is set. Therefore you should slow down due to lack of guiding light. There is an interesting story about the rags to riches inventor from Halifax in England on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%27s_eye_(road)
The brand name was legally registered as “Catseyes”he got a penny in royalties for each one produced. As they are still being used today he became a multi-millionaire . Despite that he still spent most of his time experimenting in the same enormous shed where he invented the reflectors.

I heard an old joke about why they use cat’s eyes … they’d need twice as many cats if they used their bums!

I enjoy your photographer’s eye and wouldn’t want it removed! Awesome photos as usual, although I miss your torture chairs. 👀💺
