Barry Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Some tourists are having issues with the name "cats eyes" in the U.K. and believe the British are actually removing the eyes of cats along the road so they are now being renamed road studs. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/13/cats-eyes-extinct-council-adopts-road-studs-tourists-read-signs/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I actually never knew it's called cats eyes in first place. Road studs or lane reflector studs sounds more self-explanatory. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 The story is that a guy was driving home late at night and it was extremely foggy. On a bad corner he saw the reflection of the eyes of a cat sitting on the wall and realized there was a corner and made it round the corner safely instead of plunging down a ravine. He then went home and invented what we know today as cats eyes. And that's how they got their name. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren13 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Wow some unique info. Barry was the guy sure it was a cat 🐱sitting on the wall and not an owl . Being foggy an owl would have a better chance to hunt for her prey . What say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
