One user said the road looks like a ‘class of kindergartners’ painted it

    Yeah, that’s not how you do wavy road (it needs kerbs), that’s how you get people driving over the lines.

    It’s like they played telephones and still half-assed the job (but got bonuses for a good job, and some kickbacks from the contractor).

    I’d do my best to follow the lines, then people would start pulling up behind me and honking and I’d get so panicky because I have nothing in my arsenal for “road lines painted weird what the fuck is protocol” and just pull over and have a panic attack and remember to never go to PA again which is best for all of us.

    Ok, it looks stupid, i agree, but I honestly believe this will make the road safer.

      I doubt it. Some jackass is going to be swerving & following all those lines around, maybe even someone who’s not a skilled or adept driver, like a grandma with bad eyesight. And they’re going to meet some guy driving straight on his side, possibly riding a little too close to the middle. Boom, accident.

      Who’s at fault in such a situation? The grandma trying to follow the wacky lines? The man on his side of the road, in his lane? Or the city for painting these scary, erratic lines & making the roads more hazardous?

      It would be a lot more straightforward, responsible, and frankly defensible if they put in some form of speed bumps.
