Elephants feet style markings on the road - there is confusion about what they mean.

There's a drawing number WBM (R) 294 on the last page at:

assets.dft.gov.uk/trafficauths/case-4103.pdf

which explains they are 400mm square white reflectorised markings.

The same diagram is also here:

There's something about these markings, known as WBM 294 here:

On this link it is suggested that they contributed to a pedestrian death:
