    Dept. Highway

    So after some public pressure the gov jumps to do something about the corner of 35 with 335. One recommendation was to paint stop on the highway at the intersection. Because of the tall trees on the south side of 335 the intersection is always in the shade and is always wet with snow and salt. What good will it do to paint on wet sloppy highway?
    Where they painted is so close to the intersection a truck would nerve be able to stop even if he did see the paint.
    Government just screws up everything!

    Maybe people should just obey the sign and lights that are already there! Just a thought

      Would you paint your house in the rain?

        It was said on the news that removal of the trees would happen. Trees, corn and other obstacles should not be allowed to be within 100 feet of an intersection in a rural area.

          Wish the media and other people would keep quiet about this intersection till the driver is done with court.
          All this talk is giving the defense more info on how to deem the intersection as unsafe and that dip shit will get off..

                Maybe it doesn't sound like it but I was just trying to make a point about a government run dept. that does the stupidest things. They get criticized for doing nothing so they run out and paint a highway that is covered with salt snow and slop. You can't even see the paint 3 days later.

                  There was 7 different signs on that highway indicating intersection ahead and even had flashing lights at the stop sign.
                  Nothing would of stopped that guy.....what he was doing and were his eyelids open are the question.

                    Seldomseen, they probably hired line painters from Edmonton like they did the overpasses. Guess we don’t have any good enough here. Info received at a Xmas party this weekend.
