Gun laws don't stop murders, red lights don't stop drivers from running thru them, stop signs don't make drivers stop at them...even villages gates are broken by the impatient! Only a courteous, disciplined driver exercising personal responsibility on the paths will make them safer...not a stripe - in the middle or along the edge!

I can't change the actions of irresponsible drivers. Unfortunately, some of them are the ones against the striping. I want the MMPs to have stripes so I can use them as reference points in the dark or the rain. I want to have as many tools as possible to protect myself. Just like gun laws, I can own a gun to protect myself from the "crazies". Why can't I have stripes to help me from the "crazies" when I am driving?
