That is a way to continue with the current.
A city of Pennsylvania painted curved road lines on a residential street in a new “traffic calm” initiative that officials expect them to wait recklessly driving, but many residents wondered if the police would think they were driving drunks if they followed the new pattern.
Montgomery Township, on the outskirts of Philadelphia, has new curved lines by the lane of the full gray with sidewalk extensions.
“These traffic calm measures are being installed due to the numerous complaints/concerns we received from the residents about the lane ‘Speedway’ Grays has become,” the authorities wrote in a statement on Facebook.
Despite the good intentions of the city, the locals cannot understand how their community decided that this would be a good solution.
“This is not the design to go. There are other options out there, and I think they should have followed like that,” said resident Mike Dilorenzo to NBC News Philadelphia.
“I think the speed blows would have gone much further in slowing down people on this particular path,” said William King local to The Outlet.
Many residents said they are ignoring the lines completely and driving along the road as they have always done. Others joked that the crew must have been “drunk” when painting the lines.
A person wrote that they led along the way to try it while the new lines followed, which felt “a roller coaster.”
“If he drove on the street, the police would think he was drinking, driving and stopped,” another joked, while one reflected, “it seems that he gave a creative license to a kind of infant garden.”
While many criticized the initiative, a resident applauded the effort.
“With all school stops and people who walk and cross animals, it is always very dangerous,” said Joe Albanese de Montgomeryville at 6abc Action News.
“I thought I looked a little crazy when I saw the boys do it this morning, but it makes sense to me because people are always going too fast for the Greys lane.”
But many residents thought that the initiative was a joke of fools in early April that the municipality had to clarify that “yes, this is a legitimate caution that has been implemented.”
