1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Invention of Cats Eye Road Markings in Yorkshire, England, 1933" 2.. This photograph showcases a classic example of a Cats Eye road marking, a historic innovation that revolutionized road safety in the mid-20th century. The Cats Eye marking, named for its distinctive circular reflective glass beads, was the brainchild of Percy Shaw, an English inventor from Yorkshire. Percy Shaw, a self-taught engineer, was deeply concerned about road safety, particularly during the dark and rainy conditions that often posed significant hazards for motorists. In 1933, he invented the Cats Eye road marking system to address this issue. The innovative design featured a series of raised, reflective glass beads embedded in a bitumen mixture, which reflected light from oncoming vehicle headlights, making the road markings more visible and safer for drivers. The Cats Eye road marking system was a groundbreaking development in the history of transport and road infrastructure. Its introduction in the 1930s paved the way for significant improvements in road safety, particularly during nighttime and adverse weather conditions. This photograph, taken in the 1970s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless elegance and effectiveness of Shaw's invention. Percy Shaw's Cats Eye road marking system was a testament to his ingenuity and dedication to improving road safety. His invention continues to be used worldwide, making our roads safer for generations to come. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of transportation and innovation in England and beyond.
