Why does UDOT persist in striping the freeways with disappearing paint? Every time it rains the stripes on the interstate disappear. Is it a joke?
When a giant truck with enough trailers behind it to be classified as a Union Pacific freight train comes barreling up my wazoo, doing close to 100 mph (at least that what it seems like), I’d like to make sure one of us is in the proper lane, but I can’t find the lane. I just skitter around like a water spider and pray — a lot.
Here are a couple of ideas: On our tax forms we can check a box and donate to eight various worthy causes. Maybe we could have one more for “proper highway striping.” Or how about we give people running for public office a can of paint and a brush. The one that stripes the most miles of freeway wins the election. Conventional voting or striping — it’s a crapshoot either way.
