Protesting is getting weird...
(lemmy.world)
Little does he know, an actual train will come out of nowhere and hit him eventually (an obvious asdfmovie reference)
I would join the same protest..... but then later that week I'd join the next protest demanding they fix the road I just asked them not to work on.
It's frustrating in northern Ontario because the combination of cold winters and lots and lots of heavy transport trucks every day means that our roads are no good after about four years.
Which means we only have two highway seasons ....
Winter Season and Construction Season
You could make sturdier roads for those truck, for example made of metal. They'd last decades! 🛤
Whoops ... wrong thread (I am rewording my original response to this)
Trucks gained all importance because it meant it all consumed more oil and gas instead of saving energy by having trains. Why would corporations spend tens of thousands on fuel for a train pulling tons of material across the country when they could spend billions and billions of endless fuel on millions of transport trucks destroying roads made of oil and asphalt that have to be repaired on an annual basis?
Not really different here in Indiana in terms of road issues with cold and heavy trucks. We like to say that the orange barrel is the Indiana state flower.
In that same vein of logic … they should name the Highway Construction Worker as our Provincial Animal at this point.
If only we could come up with a new more modern way of transporting heavy goods … like mass transports … using only one giant powerful engine … with trailers of goods all tied together by the dozens … on a sturdy road … maybe made of iron … we could build these roads specifically just for these massive transports, separate from the public to keep people safe and save our roads from damage.
Y’all and I-70. Poor bastards, I used to have to drive through that state twice a week and I doubt it has gotten any better.
Edit: game to have
Yep. I'm in Terre Haute. Going to Casey later today, I imagine you know why.
There used to be a good Indian restaurant and truck stop in spice land, and another at the 123
When I was a child, I genuinely thought that's what these signs were supposed to mean. In my area they were kinda scattered around the place, oftentimes not even near a construction site, so I thought they were just random propaganda signs.
What is the actual meaning ? I am an adult and I don't understand (English is not my first language)
They are signs indicating that the road work you assumedly have just driven through has ended.
Thanks, the wording is a bit strange indeed
You can go fast again.
As a Canadian driving around the UK I always found these signs strange. When passing one we would raise our fists in the air and shout, "End road work...end road work everywhere!!!".
It amused us.
Those poor roads are overworked, and everyone think they can just walk all over them, it's heartbreaking 💔
They could’ve got what they wanted if they turned around
This new Drew Gooden stuff is apparently over my head.
Beta road signs: Unreadable if you don't speak English, take a while to process, do not stand out
Chad Vienna convention signs:
No pissing on the side of the road?
One leg slightly lifted, clearly he's letting one out too
Damn libertarians
General-purpose lanes don't deserve to be fixed unless sidewalks and bike lanes have been added first (or at least concurrently).
