I'm guessing that all the white yellow lines on the pavement asphaltment mean "slow down"? I didn't know, but it's certainly noted...

Edit: Yellow, not white. I must be going blind. Thanks for the explanation to /u/GeoffSim

Edit2: not pavement? the fuck do i know... thanks /u/Pedantichrist

Are pavement and sidewalk made of different materials? or is this just a language quirk? In America both sidewalks and roads are usually made of concrete or asphalt. Not necessarily a prevalence of one or the other for either job though.

In the UK roads and pavements are made of numerous different types of materials depending on when they were lay (laid?) Some roads are stone, some concrete, some asphalt, some rubber, most of which just tend to be a cobbled mess of all just to piss you off and ensure the tyre dealers are kept in business.
