Why go through the effort of making tiles that fit perfectly if you aren't gonna put it in properly :')

It’s beautiful
There's no way to get all the panels to match up.
Maybe there's a second manhole off screen
I haven't edited the photo to confirm but I don't think that's true. I think the bottom piece is installed upside down. So to fix it, you'd flip that one around and put it back in that space, then take out the next two moving vertically and switch where they are each placed. Then you have a nice straight line where the bumpy brick sidewalk ends.
This is just disturbing.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Random blind person sues local council for misplaced tactile tiles causing slippage?
i actually kinda like how offensive this is
Infinite cobbles trick.
If I lived there I'd change them from time to time.
I was honestly trying to figure out if this was Loss...
You found a graphics bug, better report it
I don't know why but I can immediately tell this is the UK
First glance I thought it was Boston, so yea UK likely.
Which is why the "y'all" usage here is triggering me.
Australian y'all user checking in. It's not my fault there's no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant "yous" has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.
Anyway, thanks y'all, I'm going to keep using it.
I’m from Manchester and use y’all all the time. Let’s normalise southern drawl words.
I also use yall all the time
I know, daddy
- Double yellows
- The kerb
- Colour of the asphalt
- The masonry
- The foliage (one of them things you don't realise you notice)
- The knobbles so blind people know where to cross the road
- The four lids
You can see the yellow line at the edge of the carriageway which is pretty distinctive for the UK plus the dimpled tiles on the pavement are pretty much unique to Britain.
Also having carriageways and calling the paths that people walk on "pavement" are pretty much unique to Britain.
As an American who has never been to the UK, somehow I agree
As a european who has been to the uk, i agree
As an American who lived in the UK for a few years. I agree.
As me, hi!
The only downside is that raised bump pattern is for blind people using canes to know where crossing points are. That’s gonna mess with them to go from something to nothing to something again.
It’s actually more interesting than a plain old boring sidewalk. Yeah I ride with the devil
I dunno i kinda like it. Like an mc escher drawing in real life
I also find a sort of bizarre satisfaction seeing it.
Ya I like it too
What bothers me the most is the little patch of grass on the corner.
It reminds of the "this cell's formula is different" visible orange tag in Excel!
This seems like one of those things I would do when I’d want to signal to my future self or someone else that it’s the right location.
“Yeah, you can’t miss it, it’s a the spot that’ll make you irrationally upset.”
