    There's a prototype for that...

    Down in Quebec's Eastern Townships, about ten or so years ago the highway department changed the alignment of a road over a short stretch, and in typical civil servant manner, completely ignored the pole carrying electricity, phone and other wired utilities, that was now smack in the center of the new roadway.:eek:

    Apparently, someone forgot to advise Hydro-Quebec, Bell and the others that the pole needed relocating...:oops:

    In the mean time they nailed signs up to advise motorists to drive around it and not into it.

    So don't feel bad about it. Blame it on the scale civil servants... :ROFLMAO:

    So I just need a tiny, tiny, sign saying Go Around a Pole. How in the world did people drive on that road at night, in real life? And not hit it? My road crew is planning on doing away with or diverting that road, easy peasy :) A little paint and done, or ground cover!

    Likely this reflective sign:

    What were they thinking? o_O

    There's a high probability that no thinking was involved.:whistle:

    In the interim, you need some traffic cones. :D

    Problem solved, though they can't get around the cones. I suck at this :) Yes I took the weird angle photo. I suck at photography too :) That's also more then a pot hole too. More like a crater! I just need to stop for now :)

    Those are interesting. But, come see the incidences on the curve of the frontage road I live on.
