Daily conversation: What is the worst possible answer?

There are too few colors of road striping.  Make a new list with more stripe colors and what they should mean.

Canary Yellow: passing allowed

Bright Yellow: no passing allowed

[PColumbus73]

Why stop at colors? There should be also new painted symbols:

Heart (pink): Road rage prohibited
Star (gold with glitter): Celebrities only
Gear symbol (camouflage): Four-wheel drive only, can be used on unpaved roads as well
Banana (bright yellow): Slippery road

I'm assuming that the stripes will be made of those symbols, correct?

Other possibilities:

Mushroom (red and white):  high speed road
Handgun (black with red droplets):  school zone [remember the thread topic]
Dollar sign (green):  Pennsylvania Turnpike
Snowflake (white):  drivers from the South prohibited

Of course, mixing colors would be garish.

Teardrop (light blue): Crying permitted

School zones should be striped with the colors of the school's sports teams to promote local pride.

I-10 in Texas.  A toll booth should be added at MM 154.  For literally no reason at all.

Do glazed cops eat glazed doughnuts

I believe this is a reference to an initiation ritual at the Alanland National Aeronautical Law Service (ANALS).  Cadets who are about to graduate from the POST Academy are basted in a sugary glaze by their instructors prior to being pinned.

You're clearly looking for a freeway with very COLD lanes, such as Route 29 in northern Finland or a theoretical NWT-402 to the gulags in Souky

The abandoned PA 23 freeway out of Lancaster.  The livestock that utilize it should not be allowed to be free range.

I-180 in Illinois. The tolls could be used to fund construction of the Hypotenuse.

No, I-180 in Cheyenne WY. The tolls could be used to fund construction of a real I-180.

Make it coins only, so you can throw your fare into the basket without fear it will blow away. Bring your pennies jar.

All off ramps into rest areas. You pee, you pay.

Does not qualify.  Try again.

Every freeway within the Chicagoland region...
Alternative answer: I-90 or I-94 coming from Illinois into Wisconsin

In the latter case, the toll only applies to cars with Illinois plates. Toll revenue goes to the Packers, Brewers, and Bucks so they can sign more free agents.

All of them. Need to stop letting freeloaders onto highways that have to be maintained because of them.

There are too few colors of road striping.  Make a new list with more stripe colors and what they should mean.

For each of CMYK, establish 10 levels of intensity. This creates a 10,000-color colorspace. Each of America's 10,000 largest cities are assigned one of these colors, which is then used in lieu of a control city. Every road thus has double lines, with the one closest to you belonging to your direction of travel.

Travelers can discover the meaning of each color by following the line and seeing what city it leads to.
