"Prime" road markings

[BJ]

Here's an interesting idea from Scotland: special markings on the roads to help motorcyclists navigate tricky curves/corners. Basically, it creates a "funnel" that helps the rider take a safer line when forward visibility is limited.

This looks like a simple idea that could help everywhere.

@BJ so long as they are maintained

@pip-bip same goes for all the other lines... Some places are better than others at this.

It's a good idea but guidelines are typically treated as such.

@BJ It's a good idea. The angled lines function much like object markers in creating that "funnel" effect to guide traffic

Most people have no idea that those angled stripes are informational beyond just trying to get your attention.

@ttyymmnn @Urambo-Tauro Well damn TIL something useful.

The stripes always point down in the direction you must go to avoid the obstacle. Same with orange and white barricades.
