I was out walking the other day and saw these rather strange kerb stones. It's not unusual to see kerb stones chipped and broken due to being hit by lorry or van wheels as they cut corners or misjudge turnings etc. This example was odd because the kerb stones are made of plastic, I'd never seen this before but in some ways it's obvious i.e. granite or concrete is probably more expensive than plastic, it's certainly heavier and harder to fit, but, it also seems slightly daft in the sense that plastic isn't going to stand up to the normal levels of punishment dished out by wayward traffic. I wonder how long the plastic "stones" at this busy corner will last before the council have to replace them.
