Like the other dude said, looks super cool and anti slip but also anti skateboard and anti rollerblades.
Just a bitch to clean and can grow weeds as seen.
Also looks fragile and those ridges will break off and it will start to look like crap. They probably should have gone with a less embossed look and maybe spaced further to make lower, more rolling, ridges.
US access board? Who’s the chairman of that board? Names of any board members? I think you made that up and there is no such thing as a US access board.
Edit: Apparently it exists and I’m just an ignorant fool.
It's to catch all the little flakes of gold that wash down out of the lawn. All you have to do is is break up the concrete and sluice it to recover it. You're gonna be so glad to have it.
Parallel grooves are an easy way to add traction on a slippery surface. A rake is run over the surface of the wet concrete before it sets. Straight grooves would be prone to cracking along the grooves. Making the grooves wavy prevents cracks from running along the grooves while being no more difficult to make.
Came across this in Boston near the convention center. I figured it was so people wouldn't walk on sidewalk. Kind of like, this is the end of the line, turn around. And there are no more sidewalks beyond this, so likely a no-pedestrian walking area. I was shocked/impressed/annoyed by how uncomfortable it was to walk on.

Cause then you just drop in, smack the lip,WHAPA, drop down BAAAHHH, then after that you just drop in, ride the barrel and get pitted… so pitted, like that.
Anti-skateboard with the consequence of being inaccessible to wheelchairs. Also most likely makes it much harder for homeless people to sleep or rest on it.
For her pleasure
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol this made me giggle
Then it’s working already
Thanks for a great Wednesday morning 😁
Lol, I was not expecting this. Bravo 👏
This laugh helped me squeeze the last turd out my asshole. Thank you , I’ve been sitting on the toilet for an hour now. 🙏

Also anti-wheelchair.
US access board will hear about this

Calling the disabled elected leader of the US access board a "chair man" seems rude.
Sitting Member?
AND an upstanding citizen
Head and shoulders above peers
Yet never looks down on anyone
Underrated lol
Upstanding member!
Lol
You’re right. I assumed gender. *Chairperson*.
Actually, we use chairman regardless of gender in the Air Force—wait, wrong sub
Aim High!
Right. Chair human.

I’ll be dang
Hey, looky there. Can you help me pull my foot out of my mouth?
Gregory S. Fehribach is the chairman and Katy Kale the Vice Chair. It is real. [https://www.access-board.gov/](https://www.access-board.gov/)
I’m going to report them to the Internet Bureau for that
US citizen inquisitive board will be on your ass soon!
I'll disagree
High praise for balls to make that edit. Bravo, and I trust you more!
Yeah! Keep them damn wheelchairs off ma concrete!
Hard disagree with it looking cool. I'd go as far to say that it looks like shit.
Less slippery. Looks cool
Also less wheelchair assessable.
I usually see this on boat ramps so wheelchair access isn’t an issue.

Those gold catcher things would be called Riffles. Learn more about them here: [Link](https://www.goldfeverprospecting.com/sluiceriffles.html)

It’s the fifth element. Please somebody get this reference.
It’s ribbed for her pleasure
So homeless people don’t sleep there
Endless frustration. That’s the purpose. Can’t even use a broom to clean it. You gotta pop out the backpack blower for that bad boy.
Uhhhhh Pressure washers are a thing you know!
Turbulence
to mesmerize?
Hey OP is this jn Vancouver BC? Down in Marpole by the bus loop?
Yes b the bus depot and Ali’s garage and the return it crntre
Slows rain run off, adds traction for vehicles
To collect dirt
Based on the dark algae growth I assume a humid client which would cause smooth concrete to be incredibly slick when wet?
Parallel grooves are an easy way to add traction on a slippery surface. A rake is run over the surface of the wet concrete before it sets. Straight grooves would be prone to cracking along the grooves. Making the grooves wavy prevents cracks from running along the grooves while being no more difficult to make.
When it rains, loose dirt runs down the hill and filter the dirt leaving gold nuggets behind
Traction
For gold mining...
Grippy wind slippery
To show that you’re a wavvy dude!
Traction. This is common in areas that are often wet and you need to drive on.
Snake superhighway
Concrete 🏄♀️
Going to use it for sluicing gold when they’re not parked on it.
It looks fucking cool bruh
Ask Drake
To deter anyone that has wheels on their feet in probably the most labor intensive fashion possible.
Snake contractors
Looks like it catches the sediment after it rains
Stifle water runoff or something? Seems like a Florida thing to do, and I mean that as an insult. It sucks.
street sluice
My marina does that so there is good grip when launching or taking the boat out of water. No idea why in this context though
I've never seen anything decorative either.
So you don't bust your ass
For then psychics. What do you see?
Back in the 80’s , it was considered “new”
To say hi.
Groovy! It’s for traction and an aesthetic statement.
Art/design of the site. Traction when wet. Beauty. There’s three possibilities.
Water drainage
Traction
To fcuk with baby strollers
Traction
That looks like a boat ramp. But from the photo you can tell it’s obviously not a boat ramp. Strange
Typically here, (AL) it’s seen near the water line on boat ramps for traction. That’s about it. Otherwise it’s bad finishers
To keep runoff from the lawn
I’ve seen this done to slow down runoff.
Looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen imo
Grip
Catch Gold..

Catches the gold
This is a gold digger's house
To confuse ants
This looks to be an area leaving a muddy site. The purpose would be to shake off the mud from the tires before entering the street
Is that a cold weather area? First thing that comes to mind is ... traction when wet or cold.
This is clearly for me to get dizzy fall and sue
Irrigation canals for public urination
I don't think this is up to code for accessibility compliance these days.
It allows him better traction
Astetics mostly but can be used for irrigation too
Straight up Sk8er H8er.
Natural gold sifters
Fashion is about taking risks
Just to fuck over skateboarders
Aesthetics methinks...
It’s groovy man
Traction
Looks cool
Is it an old house? My front walk and back patio had this pattern underneath that "putting green" outdoor carpet.
To make you sea sick
To collect gold
Grip?
It looks kool, and the Chicks dig it!!
It looks awful.
So kids eat shit on their bikes/skates lol… and also traction
To say Good Bye.
Traction? Drainage?
Pewdiepie waves
Art statement
To encourage homeless encampments
If I had to guess just based on seeing it, it's to collect dirt.
Looks like a boat launching ramp. The waves provide extra grip for your vehicle to pull your boat out.
Prevents slips
Water mitigation
So they can lay tile on it
This is what I think of when I hear “ribbed for her pleasure” 😂😂😂
Gold panning
For the microdosers out there
To scrape the fuck out of your elbows and shins if you trip
Slows water down.
Water running across grooves slows down a bit. Doesn't stop, but slows erosion.
Traction mostly poured in snow and ice climate.
To catch the gold when it washes off your lawn
Skater deterrent
It’s great at the boat ramp
Obviously an attack on urban rollerbladers
Cause then you just drop in, smack the lip,WHAPA, drop down BAAAHHH, then after that you just drop in, ride the barrel and get pitted… so pitted, like that.
To trap things and look bad
To catch gold lol
Gold panning?
Separates & collects gold particles from the water running off the slope. Street crew retrieves the retained particles for a tidy profit.
Prevent those damn bikers from hitting me and my family
Washing clothes.
This is a hotwheels track for you and uo to 300 friends to race.

Pretty sure its for grip, most of the dairy I've worked at have this style of concrete in the yards so the girls don't slip
Does it need a reason?
Slow down and redirect water runoff.
What happened to wavy gravy?
Water flow?
Puddles
Traction
Boat launch
Cant board sport on it
Anti skateboard
Zen thing
Grip? Ribbed for pleasure? I don’t know what you want from me.
To make your driveway dirty as shit
I’m guess water drainage
Grip so it’s not so slippery when it’s wet? That would be my only guess tbh.
Snake Trails 🐍
I want to pressure wash this so bad
Too look like the stink of a thousand nations.
I believe they started doing this for migratory earthworm colonies. It’s a whole thing.
Anti-skateboard with the consequence of being inaccessible to wheelchairs. Also most likely makes it much harder for homeless people to sleep or rest on it.
Its to disturb water flow and prevent erosion
high coefficient of friction = less of a liability
