This is a road, not a racetrack....


Never seen a Taka rock slip?
Wont catch the ones going slow enough but a fair few don't and need run wide out near the yellows on a lefty when a small slips on the road. The unprepared will touch the odd centre line. The fact that that was already dangerous is true but made worse if you need commit full lean to avoid danger and run the bumpy yellow things.
I rode on them just to see how raised they were on a straight section and they are quite tall and close together.

Guess its a calculation of how many prevented accidents verses how many caused because a fair few tin tops cut the corners or stray off line. Maybe they got added to stop bikes passing as they still do it on the yellows.

Problem is also a fair few cars pull left and wave bikes past which is cool but it puts the bikes on or near that yellow.
