Sunset reflected in Cat's eyes marking the center line of the road, Acol, Kent, UK. The design originated in the UK in 1934, the name "cat's eye" from the inventor Percy Shaw's inspiration, eyeshine reflecting from the eyes of a cat. The original design consisted of two pairs of retroreflectors set into a white rubber dome, mounted in a cast iron housing. Modern derivatives are used throughout the world while this original design, once ubiquitous, are now encountered rarely on country roads in the UK.
