Quote from: I-55 on April 13, 2025, 09:39:41 PMThe correct question is "if ARDOT hasn't signed it, why does Google show it?" and the answer as usual is "because Google Maps signs stuff incorrectly all the time"

Lit-up advertising billboard signs. They must be beautiful because they take your eyes off the road so that you can look at them.

It means it's a template on how to build a railroad crossing.

Oh, exempt, not example.

Because I'm not sure if any of these were ever actually created, I'm going with this one:

I remember someone calling that the Eric Cartman of road signs years ago and if the "best forum quotes" thread was around then I would have put it there.

Magical invisible signage – made from the finest materials and meticulously crafted for the best of rulers and leaders – is always sight to behold.

Brilliant! Let's do billboards next. Then tiktok reels. Bumper stickers. And finally forum posts.

Bald, treadless tires are necessary for driving in snow and ice. And be sure to brake as hard as you can.

Michigan, Minnesota, New York: "What weather? Shut up and drive."

Georgia, Mississippi, Texas: "If you go out there today, you're never coming back. OK, I told you. Not gonna listen, huh? Well I hope you slide off the road into a ravine. What'dya mean, there's only 1/2 inch? That's all it takes. You'll slide all over the road, and someone will crash into you. You'll be dead before morning."

If you're having trouble getting traction from a standstill, then just floor the gas pedal.  Eventually, it will catch pavement.

What are some tips for driving in winter weather?

1. Attach an angle blade to your vehicle to plow as you drive; or

2. Mount a flame thrower to your vehicle to melt the snow in front of you; or

3. Wait for a snow plow to pass, then just follow them around. They should eventually get to the road past your destination.

Drive 15 mph on the freeway and have a death grip at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel.  That automatically makes you a safe driver, even when you're straddling lanes and weaving left and right and completely oblivious to everyone else.

And mirrors are unnecessary in winter weather.  No move you make can possibly cut anyone else off, as long as it's snowing.
