SPRING BREAK THIS WEEK MEANS......

I don't have to worry about avoiding this new sign in our neighborhood....placed smack dabbed in the middle of the road.



I get that it is a warning that there are children crossing the street during school hours. I get that people need to slow down at crosswalks. I get that pedestrians have the right away once they step into a crosswalk. What I don't get is why the City wouldn't place it there temporarily and then try, in their own vehicle, to try to make a left hand turn from the school and try to steer around the sign. It is almost impossible. You have to go straight and then make a sharp left hand turn. Luckily for THOSE people that just might happen to drive that route....everyday for over 7 years, and make that left hand turn automatically, cutting off the corner of the turn lane and accidentally hitting the yield sign......it is on a hinge that allows it to fall down and then spring back up! Let's see if it has been hit......








Yup....looks like it....more than once. Let's take a closer look........



Have I ever mentioned that I do drive a BLACK car. Oooops! I swore Blake to secrecy....but then caved when I started giggling the other day driving past it with Dave when he said "looks like it has been hit a couple of times."

Thank goodness for Spring break! Maybe I should go practice my left hand turn this week.

  1. LOL The city really should have reviewed the intersection with cameras for at least a solid month (or year) before changing up your route.

I heart comments! Just one rule that I'm sure your momma taught you...if you don't have anything nice to say...please don't say anything at all!
