Drain on a Pedestal
Public drains are usually placed next to the sidewalk where cars generally park. Mainly because it is a good place and height for water runoff to go and disappear successfully to the underground our cities. The main aim is to avoid flooding on extremely rainy days in the city.
For some unknown reason, someone decided to place the drain in the middle of the road at an elevated angle so that the water can’t even reach it. It makes absolutely no sense when you think about what a drain is usually meant to do. You just can’t skip little details in design!
