Keep your eye on the arrow

If you set out to find something that makes you think “what were they thinking?”, it’s a pretty safe bet you’ll never have to rest a minute before continuing the search.

I took this photograph today with my telephone. This road is close to work.


Are you grasping the absurdity of such? Note the double yellow line, faded but unambiguous.

Let’s consider: where would such an arrow be sensible? About all I can come up with is in a country that drives on the right side of the road, just over the border from a country that drives on the left side of the road. Needless to say, such is not an accurate description of this location.

Something else that bugs me is that it’s all by itself. I mean, just what the hell are the drivers in the other lane supposed to do? There’s no arrow there. Isn’t that inviting a crash?
