I've noticed the same .. it's difficult for cyclists and cars alike to see. Not very bright.
I think my city (and likely others) have rule where a portion of public projects
must have a percentage of the funds spent on artwork.
So, a bridge might have artwork design on the separator wall, for instance.
I'm wondering if this is the bureaucratic solution to the requirement - the artist didn't consult with the traffic engineer on the design, perhaps.
