I believe there used to be wiping “stations” there and the barriers were to protect those.

:picard: It was an exaggeration, based on real experience of how clueless people are in a work zone.

judging by the window reflection of the sun, Im going to assume he just didn’t see it. Given the damage they were obviously going too fast though.

I would hope that the safety of yourself, other motorists as well as the men working would be enough deterrent to not fuck around while in a construction zone. There is enough danger in the construction field, we don’t need asshats dicking around instead of paying attention adding to that.

Maybe the car was cleaned so well that the sun reflected into the drivers eyes, blinding him and causing the accident. I think Delta Sonic is liable. Sue! :eekdance:

Ok I was eating at the McD’s right next door to Delta looking out the window when a lady in a Black SUV held the gas down and shifted into drive. She flew across into the median flipping over hit two cars and slid on the roof into the Jeweler parking lot across the street. It was the best double cheese burger between class I have ever had. Anyone remember that?

I would like several installed in my driveway…

Theyre probably expensive, but it would be nice to know i can protect speeding vans filled with explosives from getting into my driveway!
