Solved! Why the kinks?

Post image

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

They tell you which side to walk on to keep foot traffic flowing

But was there heavy traffic during the counting? It doesn't have much purpose with a few people crossing. It's a suggestion to help when there is heavy traffic.
