Drivers are going to be doing a double take when they cruise down one road in Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania.
Officials within the township have decided to paint squiggly solid yellow lines and single white lines on Grays Lane in an effort to stop people from speeding. More
Magical thinking.
This is your brain on drugs.
Whoever runs that town needs to go. Ridiculous. Who’s speeding that they’re afraid to touch?
None of us is as dumb as all of us.
“this is the solution that was decided at a board meeting “
Seems pretty foolish to think people will slow down for those painted lines.
Did they ever hear of speed bumps?
I might be mistaken, but solid double yellow lines usually indicates a no passing zone on a State road. That isn’t a state road.
This bullshit is going on EVERYWHERE.
@SgtZim:
Exactly! It’s well known that the synthetic aggregate intelligence of a board or committee is inversely proportional to the member count squared.
They own liability for creating a hazardous condition. This is going to invite head on collisions. It is illegal to cross a double white line and what color do double yellow lines appear when abler fog lamps are turned on? So pavement lane demarcation lines are there as a guide that drivers should follow through a section of roadway.
This shit is what DEI has done to the engineering profession. Goddamn ass clowns who got through 16 years of school by regurgitation of bullshit leftist dogma are making decisions. FIE Bridge collapse killed a couple people with this kind of horse shit and made the news. DEI in the engineering profession kills that many every day in the United States.
Totally end qualified immunity for elected and appointed officials and this shit will end. The bastards who signed off on this should be spayed and neutered to end the possibility of them breeding more of the same breed of idiot.
Speed bumps. I know that’s too old skool.
Um, is this even legal to do? 👀

Double yellow – no passing zone
Double white – painted barrier, do not cross for any reason
@BevWKy — Montgomery Township officials say, “We ARE teh law.”
The big fly in the soup that I see here is every shit faced driver in town is going to think that line is actually strait.
This wuz cheaper than putting five traffic circles in a row…
This makes it easy to spot drunk divers during an earth quake.
They’re the only one driving straight!
That is normal for Illinois
A lot of new cars have lane keeping assist which uses cameras to locate the painted lines on the road. This should work great.
The guy operating the striping machine was drunk. The city is too cheap to fix it, so they made up this dumb story.
I checked the date on the article, assuming it was an April Fool’s story. Nope. These are year ’round fools.
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house. – Mother Goose
This is the left and Demwits in a nutshell. Everything in their worldview is crooked.
Years ago I experienced traffic calming on a residential street in Toronto. The city installed a series of gentle speed bumps along the stretch of road and created a serpentine travel direction. If you drove at the posted speed of 25 mph things went smoothly, but if you tried to go 30 or more you were in for a hell of a ride.
The idiots in my area just did a “traffic calming” move.
They took one block of a one-way street and turned it the other direction.
On the first full day in effect, I watched 2 drivers go the wrong way. I also say several last-minute turns when drivers came upon the “new traffic pattern” signs.

Not to mention the yellow painted roadkill…
Wait tll you encounter one of these beauts… the Diverging Diamond designed to keep people from turning left in front of on-coming traffic.
I sorta thot that’s what the green protected turn arrow was for!!
