*"A local council in England has decided to change the name of the reflective road markings known as 'cat's eyes' in favour of 'road studs' after confused tourists and worried children thought real animals parts were used on British highways.
The initial confusion was caused after signs saying 'warning cats eyes removed' was taken literally by tourists and young children.
'Road stud' warnings have now replaced the traditional signs after Suffolk County Council approved the change."*
At what cost?
