No, no, no. This is all wrong. There should be at least ten more guys standing around. – Ms. Fix-It

    Ninth!!!!!!!!

    awww… daaammit!

  2. Battle.Not says:

    I’m on my
    Highway to Hell

  3. Little Girl Blue says:

    Very scenic.

  4. bob_super says:

    Great, now they’ve put that nice railing I can’t get my construction equipment on the broken side to fix it.
    Couldn’t they have just put a single red cone in the right lane until we got there?

  5. Bruce says:

    We don’t need to fix the slide! We just drop a pile of concrete K-Rails, re-stripe the road to a single lane, and put up two Stop Signs and Proceed When Clear” signs at each end – Done!

    (And Mulholland Drive west of Kanan Road between Agoura and Malibu stayed that way for three or four years… )

    • bob_super says:

      thanks for confirming it’s by hollywood, there is something Godzillesque about this …

    • Skyfire says:

      Heh. One of the local municipalities did just that (except the stripe) about five years ago. They’re still there today. There’s no lights on the road either, which makes things… interesting, at night.

  6. TexasDan says:

    I can’t wait to see the traffic sign they come up for this one.

    • fluffy says:

      Stickman in peril, for sure. Oh, and lots of squiggly lines.

      • Anna Rexia says:

        And at the bottom of the hill, a sign with Rage Guy on it.

        • TexasDan says:

          Lane ends, merge left into oncoming traffic.

          • Dogmeat says:

            I envision traffic signs showing cars driving on only the two driver’s side wheels as they pass one another. Then 100 feet after the signs are stunt ramps that will place the vehicles coming from either direction into that position just before the narrowed lane.

            • TexasDan says:

              I’m thinking an orange sign, jagged explosion edges, with the simple message “WTF!!?!”

              But I must admit the two-wheeled passing sign would be epic.

    • Dan, ad nauseam says:

      Signs? We don’t need no steenking signs!

  7. Kludge-snaRFer says:

    The true kludge in this picture is the location of the road in the first place. This is no country for old cars…

  8. grayknight says:

    We were only hired to install the railing. So we installed it the best we could to protect those driving on this road. So what if we were 6 weeks early, at least we got the job done in record time. And it isn’t our fault they hired the slowest construction crew in the state to do the road work.

  9. panagiotis says:

    That is a typical Greek countryside road…

    Oh, i should definately upload someday a couple of roadside kludges near my house.

    • jessy says:

      Thank you Panagiotis, for the confirmation of my first thought! I called my fiend over to show him the picture and I mentioned that in Greece there would be no railing, only flapping plastic at best – or nothing at all. (The road on the North of Smerna, Peloponessos was worst for me)

      Take care!

  10. Random Axis says:

    I’m sure they’re actually adding more guard rail on the other side.

  11. blearyeyedboy says:

    You think that’s bad… I saw one in NZ where they just painted the road lines around the bit that dropped away in a landslide. Classy.

  12. Marko says:

    This is in Macedonia (between the towns of Ohrid and Bitola), happened few months ago. The title says it all, budget cuts. It was never fixed.

    • ceco says:

      Wait a second, I know a lot about Macedonia, and those cities are not in Macedonia…Oh you mean the former yugoslav republic of macedonia, better known as skopje.

  13. ducttapemom says:

    This is an excellent example of outsourcing. In this case, the city planners were outsourced to the countryside. Not used to openness
    of said countryside, they did their best to create the trafficc mayhem that they were familiar with.

  14. clever-title says:

    Old Mine Road on the NJ side of the Delaware Water Gap had a wash out of a lane decades ago. Rather than restoring the road to 2 lanes, they installed a traffic light at each end of the washout to ensure traffic moves only one direction at a time

  15. Hejira says:

    You know a cliff’s hardcore when the RAILING backs away from it.

  16. bubbaralph says:

    This road was designed by Hot Wheels to add speed to slower drivers.

    • lost sailor says:

      The lack of men standing around comment was hilarious!
      I mean shovels are still a good way to look like your busy.

  17. Biliou says:

    OK, this has to be Greece…

  18. dono1 says:

    Usually I’m happy when someone grades on a curve.

  19. justme says:

    I had an AFX track like this when I was a kid…

  20. izzy mhee says:

    All right. That job’s kinda done. Now I think I’ll just park my vehicle at the narrowest point and hang out next to it to add to the constriction and increase the possibility of being removed from the gene pool by a careening driver.
