While this helps against flooding, I guess it's not a lot of fun to bike there.
I think this is in the Netherlands and the pink asphalt on the right is a bike path.
So maybe to prevent people from cutting across the sidewalk from the bike path? No idea.
Edit: A bike parking is just visible at the top of the picture, so Netherlands intensifies.
If you’re not zooming by at 30 km/h, this should be no more than a little bumpy. I guess that’s intended, since this looks like sidewalk/plaza, where you’d expect lots of pedestrians.
Those are ment to grow grass, it looks pretty good if it is well maintained.
The pavement looks brand new so grass probably did not have time to grow yet.
Are those anti-skateboard paver inserts?
Drainage gaps I would guess.
My french brain immediately thought these were used to throw at police during some riot
