Durable and encouraging of slower driving. Oh and I kinda like that Yankee idea of 4-way stops! The French largely gave up on them after 1968 as the cobbles made good ammunition for the students to throw at the police. The Belgian village I lived in until last year had cobbles through the centre. Didn't slow anyone down a great deal (unlike the single-vehicle wide railway bridge at one end of the main through route) and was very noisy. Needed relaying most years. Still liked them though. |
