I have never seen a "look" sign before.

Still have road work going on? It's endless.

Apparently they have had problems with people pulling out of the driveway of this gas station onto a frontage road and not looking both ways. Some people assume frontage roads are one-way, when many are in fact two-way.

Hey, you know there are only two seasons in Madison: winter and construction. Most of the summer, North Fish Hatchery and parts of North Park St were under construction. Now they are redoing some of the exit ramps off Fish Hatch onto the Beltline. As if that weren't enough, they are also stringing new utilty lines along the South Beltline Frontage Rds.

Heh. I should do this sometime so we could compare notes. :) You'd probably get a kick out of the Italian signage, eh?

Happy TT to you!

Kimberly: I think people would get a kick out of seeing some of the Italian signs. I sometimes wish I'd taken pics of some in Norway. : D

That's a lot of signs. Doesn't make for safe driving if you have to read all of those :)

Heather said...

Shelley: There are a lot of signs, but not all on the same block. That's several circuitous miles covered during some of my walks. ;-)

Alice Audrey said...

Do they really need all that?

Heather said...

Alice: Considering the area each sign is posted...yes, I'm pretty sure they do. Except the "No skateboarding" one--that is actually posted at entrance to a business's parking lot.

There is actually one sign that has been missing several years now that should have been replaced. There used to be a "blind entrance ahead" sign about 200 feet from my old street, but someone slammed into it one icy winter night, and it was never replaced.

The drive is on a blind curve and cars come flying off the Beltline so fast--and they do not have to stop as traffic on the Frontage Rd does--that I am surprised there aren't more accidents there. I can't tell you how many near-misses I've been a part of. So glad not to have that worry any more!
