Comment on Local news did an entire segment featuring a guy who's mad about having to drive more carefully.

But yeah, visibility is key. I wonder if they are still visible in ten years. That’s my only objection to things like raised crossings: once the paint wears off or in snow they become a lot less visible and no longer as effective. I hate that both as a driver and a cyclist

This is mostly a US problem though. Road designers in the US just don’t seem to actually understand how to implement these things in a sensible manner.
The way to do things like raised crossings is to make them out of a different type of road surface, moving over to brick pavers is common, so there’s always a visual indication.

Yeah we don’t spend money on road maintenance, only road creation
