Safer manhole covers.

See the northwest track is getting them.

Hope the keep them all year round would like to test them for myself on my sunday morning jont to the port.

Anyone ever seen them on the roads on the mainland don't know anywhere over here that has them.

Not seen any in the UK. I've seen some of the german design (hollow topped cover, then filled with tarmac, bleedin' obvious solution of you ask me!) around the south though. You got them over the water then?

Miow!

Haven't seen any before! The northwest 200 circuit is ment to be getting a few but haven't been out round it in a while due to a dislocated knee so not to sure if there in place yet

MAG have been running the campain for this in the UK for nearly two years

You might think it obvious, I'd guess you've never had to lift one.

Had those in Wales a fair while, used to be fun to drive alone at about 2am and turn the headlights off and still be able to see where the road is going lol

They're also increasingly popular with local councils as metal manhole covers are often nicked for their scrap value. I imagine the plastic ones are cheaper too.
