Cat's eyes extinct as council adopts 'road studs' because tourists
read its signs too literally:
They're a great British invention that have guided countless
travellers home late at night. But now it seems cat's eyes - or at
least the name - will be scrapped.
The move follows reports of concerned tourists fearing that animal
cruelty had become a standard practice on our country roads.
Signs saying "cat's eyes removed" were being read too literally so,
after a string of mix-ups, Suffolk county council decided to replace
them with signs warning of "road studs" ahead, and from now on the
council will only refer to them that way.
