The ... safety rules (fill in the adjective yourself ) in that part of the country obliges that red/white tape at every corner, at least 10m away from the road. As it's described in the law as a "zone", it should be taped as a square, hence the tape along the road. However, the reason why they have to zigzag the tape in the zone escapes me. It's annoying for photographers, it slows down people who need to cross the area, it's more work to remove. the tape along the road is quite useless too, surely everyone understands where to stand with one bit of tape. I tried one of the press areas, I abandoned that idea soon enough, seems they though photographers like pics taken behind a concrete pole, tape and advertising signs. The only way to get something decent is avoiding them, and possibly the "public areas" too.
The rules are more relaxed in the south, you're more likely to see the opposite (although they're getting the hang of it too).
