South of 466A, there are some blind curves with embedded reflectors in the middle of the MMP. They serve double duty as they "thump" if you go over them with your tires. These seem like a good idea.

I'm not so sure there is a MMP expert in the whole country. In this case, I would compare the TV MMPs with 50,000 golf carts worth of traffic to safety measures commonly used for roads such as stripes, stop/yield signs, etc. As a retired engineer, I have conducted a study of the CCD4 center stripe and have concluded it adds some level of safety. Where do I send my invoice?
