How could this be more safe?! Now you have to put extra concentration on the road instead of scanning ahead for animals, bikes, kids and cars.

This is the kinda shit lawful people dream up thinking everyone obeys every rule. No. I'm driving straight through that shit.

Also, they chopped parking down and you know someone's going to ignore the white line and end up parked in the road. See the black truck?

Reminds me of the engineering on our local mall. I'm the last to bitch about planting trees, but you can't see the fucking store signs from the back of the parking lot. You either have to creep along blocking flow, or go to the front where we want fewer cars. The parking lot is a confusing mess to slow people down. What really happens is a shitload of near misses. Meanwhile, at Walmart next door, regular lot, no issues.
