I am still not sure it was a manhole cover to be honest? Do they put them in the middle of the road?
Yes. They also really like to put them smack bang in the middle of the ideal line round a bend - I've noticed that before.
i believe they're placed at pipe junctions and it's much easier to run pipes under roads. so covers at road junctions is a thing.
