With a curve like that it's not really surprising.

Now all we need is a giant wooden insect to put in the street alongside it, or failing that the designer of this building tied to a wooden bench would work too.

Pedestrians are still being blinded. What happens when a motorist drives into the sweet spot and gets blinded?
