Ah! Sorry, I was thinking of your summary of Clive's comment. It sounded like, even if the ridges were reversed, they'd still be somewhat inconsistent, whereas now I look closer, you were implying that it would be more consistent if they were reversed.
But it still sounds like they wouldn't be completely clear. The cycleway isn't really "walk with caution", it's more like "don't walk here at all" (at least in longwise, you could cross sideways).
I'm still not sure where I went wrong. I feel like the conversation was:
Tony: This would be better the other way round. Lnr: But it would be hard to change because if you swap some of them over, then they're always ambiguous. Jack: But even if they're better the other way round, they're still somewhat uncomfortable. maybe some OTHER design would BOTH be more comfortable AND be safe to install incrementally without making the meaning ambiguous. Everyone: NO!
