Crazy things you've found in Google StreetView

[Scott5114]

I wonder what happened here.

It's a section of road dedicated to the testing of pavement markings.

Or, more likely, the testing of new employees who have never driven the paint truck before.

Usually this is done on a stub of road that doesn't actually connect to anything (old alignment road or frontage road severed by a freeway, stub to unbuilt interchange, etc.) so it's not quite so obvious or disruptive.

How about on an interstate highway.  I know these are test paint lines, plus on a high traffic area to test how they do under extreme conditions.

Funny thing is the piedmont and the central parts of the stats get more frequent updated compared to us where the Greenville Southwest Bypass, CF Harvey Parkway, and all of Wilmington don't have any imagery or it's from summer 2019 at the latest.

Thanks to a heads up in another forum I've got my first Street View image of 2022 as well. And quite close to me on top of that.

The Shelby Bypass has white lines like it's a traditional state highway instead of orange which makes it a freeway compared to the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway which is orange.

Because it's a freeway!

Unless they did it on purpose because there is no such route signed on it yet.

But how is that crazy?  When I think crazy I think of things like the scene of an accident or some mad act being captured by the Google Car.  This just strikes me as something someone would post when they don't get that the quality posting standards thread was about them.

Because it's an unsigned highway. I think that's crazy that it has not been assigned a route number and drivers would think that we take this highway blah blah blah!

If anything can be crazy, then this is me and my sister walking when we got captured: Deleted!

Ehhh...is that something you're really comfortable posting on an open forum?  Especially when it involves a person that isn't you?  If it was just you I wouldn't question it, but are you sure that is what the other person would want?

Well, the faces are blurred out, and I didn't let her know so I should probably delete it.

Yeah, if you're asking for my take then I would agree deleting that last post is the way to go.

Might want to make sure you get your previous post too given it had quotes in it.

protest

Not just a garden-variety protest, a strike, with a full-on picket line. Looks like it was part of the BCTGM Nabisco strike.

Makes more sense.  I was thinking, what did Nabisco do?

... I've seen way worse than that.

I thought this thread was for Google Street View specifically, i.e. if you went to the location in person, you wouldn't see it.
