Seems to me that the Brits have a heritage of kooky and overly complex street widgets. Must be the water.

So self-cleaning road safety devices that inexpensive, long-lasting and simple to manufacture are kooky?

The US version of a 'road reflector' is much less complex and (I'm assuming) much more inexpensive than a standard cateye.

Cleaning is taken care of by the occasional tires that drive over them- kabump-kabump.
Don't get me wrong- I respect UK drivers, cars, and the way the government keeps the roads. It just always seemed funny to me that a buck's worth of plastic could be evolved into something, well, so complex.
