Signs saying "cat's eyes removed" were being read too literally so,

The correct generic name for such items is "roadstuds".

Whatever they're called they've had their time and should go. They're over
complicated and not particularly bright compared to alternatives plus over

they can damage tyres and also be a hazard for motorbikes when its wet

its like driving over small rocks. They were a good idea for the time but

are a far more sensible solutions available now such as lines made of

I don't agree. On unlit roads, and that includes motorways, they are
very helpful, especially the ones which are clour coded for nearside and
offside.

You do realise you can get different coloured flourescent paints.
