I know what you mean! And here, in Orange County, I guess they have more of
those signs than they have use for! There's one on the 405 that's been there
for a year warning to "reduce speed, bump ahead"-there was never really a bump
to begin with, and the work has been finished on the road for months! You can
tell who's new to the area-they're the ones who put there brakes on in the
middle of the freeway!
There's several around town warning of closures that have come and gone-lit
around the clock! So annoying!
And those construction lights-to come out of pitch blackness into a blinding
white light-I think I've died!
