No my point is that safety is just a smokescreen. If they did, they would responsibly maintain lane markings and signage. Instead what they are really interested in is raising revenue for the city which is what the lower speed limits are doing. It is not causing anyone to drive more safely.And State DOT is relevant because they also do not give a damn about safety. Yesterday I was traveling west on the Grand Central when all of a sudden there were no lights on the highway and none of the signs were reflective so they couldn't be seen and since the traffic was very light there was no lights from other cars headlights. Too make matters worse, all the lane markings were gone and suddenly the road split in two and I was going right. I completely lost track of where I was. I thought I may have been entering the Clearview but as it turned out I was already at the split for the Robinson. I don't recall seeing exists for Kissena or Main probably because the road was so dark and the signs didn't reflect. At least I was familiar with the roadway so I was able to regain my bearings. That could be deadly for someone new to the area. On the Belt Parkway it is over four years that a section of roadway has been dark. If safety were a real concern dark sections of roadway would be promptly fixed and wouldn't linger for years. The concern for safety is phony. |
