I'd love to know how they addressed water ingress and people driving over them.
Also wondering how accumulated snow would be handled. Where I live at least, it would be impossible to use them for around 4 months a year.
That too. By me, we can get 8-16" overnight a few times in winter and those caps would be frozen closed with ice. Most of the time the snow stays on the curbs for weeks or months. Maybe the internal heater mentioned can keep it from freezing closed, but the water and salt does some damage on everything.
They say they tested in the Cologne area, which is pretty light in snowfall AFAIK.
A lot of Europe experiences very little snow, so they certainly have a market. I agree this wouldn't work in Quebec.
