OK, a little poetic license there, but they don't last beyond a single salt, sand and plowing season. They're obviously way down on the list of road maintenance priorities so you have to stare at the road really hard to see the faint ghost of such markings. Pretty much defeats the purpose of them. I can't really blame the crews, budgets are small and potholes are the state's largest winter crop.
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of traffic lights in the state are on timers, but there's a few at awkward intersections that I just cannot set off and invariably end up running a red unless there's a car I can follow.
You done with the cross examination, Perry?
