Cats eyes to be renamed


Barry

Recommended Posts

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.

:-D 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.

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.
