Who invented armadillos for lane segregation of a cycle lane? These look

Must be great for the tyres if you run into one accidentally, say
when someone else does something stupid.

They also have raised lines instead of just white lines
marking the lanes on roundabouts. They make drivers take the right route
through
the roundabouts.
