Of course they're not real cats!!! What do you think we are! Percy Shaw from Halifax, got the idea for reflective road studs in 1934 after a cat's glowing eyes reflected his car headlights on a dark, foggy night, saving him from driving off a steep road. They must have saved thousands of life. My dad always remembered him because he had 5 television sets!!
My parents always called me a daft Apeth (halfpenny) when I was a kid, but we never saw signs for extreme wildfires.
The 'give way to oncoming traffic' sign is a daily trauma as the road narrows to a single lane bridge or laneway... and the Kettlewell sign is just fun!
