  1. Wased says:

    This is what having intercourse while driving (a stripe painting vehicle) will do for your driving.

    • treborx says:

      those stripes are not painted on; they are supposed to be temporary while the construction is taking place. see right side lanes closed and barriers. They have apparently overstayed their intended timeframe.

      • imillard says:

        Right.
        The stripes are actually tape, designed to be removable after construction.
        However, if they are applied on a dirty or dusty road surface….

        • Kenoscope says:

          Or it gets REAL hot, like last Summer here when we had 70 days of 100+ F heat. Then the asphalt liquefies and runs. Certain intersections actually moved several inches and had to be torn up, then repaved.

          • Stoneshop says:

            And as a motorcyclist I’m really, REALLY wary of those tape-lines. First, they’re slippery as hell when wet (most painted stripes are bad already, but not half as bad as these), second, you can wait for one to be kicked up by another vehicle and get flung against one of your wheels, with a fair chance of getting snagged in the spokes.

      • mica720 says:

        thats why they just paint the temp lines in MI, hell we have road construction all year.
        BTW, our side cant pass solid line but incomming has broken yellow line, lol

  2. Zack says:

    So wait… Can you overtake here or not?

  3. Brewski says:

    That is one tough sobriety test!

  4. dono1 says:

    Painted shortly after his Blue Period and slightly prior to his Rose Period, this piece of work comes from Picasso’s little-known Department of Public Works Period.

  5. bob_super says:

    with curves like this, it wasn’t gonna stay a single line very long.

  6. Joe says:

    Oh, this was totally intentional. That’s what happens when you cut pay for your public service workers. I’m betting that one of the city council members lives on this street.

  7. Ugnaught says:

    This isn’t a kludge. The adhesive on the temporary stripes stops working and the stripes start moving around when they’re driven over.

  8. Bob Rose says:

    I don’t care who ya are that there is funny. F.U.N.N.Y. Why do you want to be so serious?

  9. Darrin says:

    I’ve seen painted lines like this in a community. Lots of straight lines then they stopped for lunch. Friends saw the guys were “smoking” their lunch, afterwards not a straight line to be found.

  10. The_Lion says:

    that biking lane in the middle is kinda small though . . .

  11. Thadius says:

    Following the letter and spirit of the law is a mite bit harder during the Line Migration season when the lines that are still living start to get up and walk around.

  12. sevenmarie says:

    “I thought Harold only used purple crayons… – Ms. Fix-It”

    who’s harold?

  13. teenguitargirl says:

    You can pass if you’re coming from a certain direction. One of the lines is broken… I think.

  14. bob_super says:

    Don’t see the problem. Most kludges with the “car” tag would have an easier time following this yellow line than the white one.

  15. Les says:

    BAD DOG! NO! You call that painting a road? I told you to paint in a straight line. BAD!

  16. jason b hood says:

    Mr. Dali, I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go. It’s not really working out. Perhaps you’ll be able to find work elsewhere . . . I hear they are hiring in Spain.

  17. Ashenfang says:

    That’s my town for you…. Had to drive down this (since fixed).

    • kokomo 1 says:

      Funny i recognized this pic was from kokomo as soon as i looked at it!!! Gotta love quick half-assed jobs

  18. Lovejones says:

    no M.J. Fox jokes, I’m kind of disappointed.

  19. Bekbob says:

    It’s nice to see Stevie Wonder and Michael J Fox working together.

  20. izzy mhee says:

    Driver: “Oh man….. I was wondering when those flashbacks I was promised would finally kick in”

  21. JUSTTOM says:

    DEEP BREATH “ok I’m sober I can walk the straight line. I’m sober I can walk the straight line. I’m sober…”

  22. RJ says:

    Perhaps paying ground squirrels to paint the road striping was not the best budget cut in new municipal budget.
