Those ones are not tramlines, which are flat-topped. Those are round-topped corduroy and they're not even laid according to the standard anyway, because it should be only a single line of tiles where the steps require a turn to encounter them and a "key design principle" is that they should be in a contrasting colour to help visually-impaired people more - but that would also help cyclists stand more chance of seeing them early and avoiding the evil skid hazards. Report the substandard hazardous crap on www.fixmystreet.com please, so the council can't say they weren't told when their next victim tries to claim damages.They aren't for anti-slip, but so that the hard of seeing know when they've arrived at a crossing (crossways) or are straying onto a cycle track (longways).
Since the orientations have been standardised and all the blind or partially sighted have learnt what to feel for, thechances of a change are zero. The best you can hope for is to get planners to limit the tramline slabs to short lengths, so you get off them before your balance has gone completely.
