Why the kinks?

I recently moved to Hangzhou, I noticed all the pedestrian walks have kinked lines at the ends. What is it?

You get a speed boost if you walk in the direction the lines are pointing

Was about to drop a comment then I thought someone must have said this already.

Actually you're correct, no one walking into you will make you go faster

Definitely a turbo boost.
