I went to whistler yesterday, and there are long sections on the highway where they put in those yellow rubbery traffic posts, the ones that you sometimes see between lanes when they don't want you changing lanes. Makes sense, may reduce accidents during olympic period.
But instead of putting them between lanes to split the lanes up nicely, they were putting them off-set. Lanes are pushed towards the edges of the road, and they created this empty space in the middle (over the yellow lines) for absolutely no good reason.
I shit you not there are mile-long sections where you are forced to drive on through on the rumble strips because of the off-set.
I saw construction workers that are putting these in place as I drove past. The posts are installed onto the ground using a couple bolts, so they are drilling holes into the tarmac. Basically when olympics is over, and they remove these posts, we are going to be left with a bunch of drill holes over the path where the tires roll over. These drilled holes will turn into potholes in 1-2 years and we are going to have a path of potholes for the entire length of the highway.
what the hell is VANOC thinking?
