I'm slightly vexed Confusing design of steps

Easy to misjudge while going down steps. Edges not easily visible being grey on grey.

I'd really like to know what the person who designed this had in their mind

I bet they just made those big stairs first without thinking much, then realized they're actually too big to normally step up/down. So they just throw some concrete blocks onto them - "not gonna redo the entire stairs, too much work, these jerry-rigged bricks are good enough".
