So here I am driving from Portland to Tucson and I run over a whole bunch of these things.. ...as I am old school, I know what a proper cattle guard looks like They have a steel grid over a shallow pit, and this ain't that.. au contraire Humans being smarter than cattle have figured this out Painted lines on the road can serve as skeuomorphs of cattle grids. The light-dark pattern of lines and pavement resembles a true cattle guard to animals. Many animals see a more intense contrast between light and dark because their night vision is much better than humans'. Animals see the sharp contrast of the cattle guard on the ground as a false visual cliff; they act as if the dark parts are deeper than the light parts. Using a virtual cattle guard is cheaper than a true cattle guard, and can be used on higher-speed roads due to its smooth surface.
