I think the reasons cited in the article made sense. |
If you need a line on the multi modal paths you should not be driving.

not trying to steal the thread here but I feel the money would be more strategically spent on a few street lights in certain designated areas - my pet peeve is the golf cart rotary near Brownwood -- a couple of street lights there would prevent an accident waiting to happen - I am sure there are other places that may be also as dark as a pocket.

Does a strip help you see the road if you're driving too fast for the distance your headlights project - No. Just like the Morse bridge over Lake Sumter the best solution is slow down ! (no cost) |
I like the reflector idea.

It would be a very good idea to add center lines. I hate to say for safeties sake, makes me sound like some old guy, but in this case it is true. Carts have their head lights aimed high in many cases and really blind oncoming traffic. I have found myself looking for the edge of the blacktop to make sure to stay in my lane. Rain and other conditions make it even harder. It's not needed in daylight but at night it makes all kinds of sense.
Slowing down doesn't really help. You could slow down right in front of an oncoming cart. It's not really going to help the dingbats that cut corners but it could remind them they are over the line. It's a no-brainier, should be done. It's true there are some country roads that do not have enter lines. At night, they are by far the most dangerous to travel. Fortunately traffic is lite so accidents are few but when they happen they are deadly. The neighborhood streets without lines are not that difficult because cars have their head lights aimed. Try driving around town with bright lights on that is more what it's like on the car path. |
The striping would be primarily helpful to night drivers. The question is, how many drive their carts at night? How many accidents have there been at night due to head on collisions that the center striping would have prevented? It will be very costly to install and maintain the striping.

Painting a line would look like deification. I also don't like reflectors but that would look a sight bit better than a painted line.

I think those who posted no need for anything have never driven to brownwood at and had a cart coming at them and one behind them plus being close to the road the headlights from vehicles come into play. I drive 15mph at most and still have a tough time seeing the edge of the path. Also as previoiusly mentioined, something at the round a bout in brownwood would be nice, very dark. Relectors or striping, either one a good idea.
