Put Down a Little Paint
Caltrans’ work on the Golden State Freeway is to be commended. An obvious improvement, and quite inexpensive too, would be to define the lanes, especially those approaching and under Burbank Boulevard, where a few weeks ago three people were killed in a motor home which crashed and burned.
As I pass that spot after a workday, I can visualize how easily one could be confused by concrete-pour separation grooves and the indistinct white lane buttons as to exact lane lines.
Please, Caltrans, put down a little white paint to make the lanes clear and distinct. I often wonder if such clarity might have prevented the fatal accident. Surely it may help prevent future accidents there.
