Well, since forward and back are already forbidden, I would extrapolate that a U-turn would also be a no go. Unless you are in a helicopter, you are going to be breaking one traffic regulation or another.
My question is; with all those restrictions.., how the heck did you get to the location where the sign is…??? You’d already be in violation by the time you saw it.
Construction. It was like this all along the Meadowbrook parkway during the endless years while they were hooking it up to the LIE. Remember? What a nightmare!!
i have a friend who is a whizz on photoshop and she’s given me lessons at several different times. I could always use her as a backup in a tight spot…I am just afraid if I install it that it will eat up too much memory…and what can I say. I procrastinate.
It might very well suck up every bit of memory you’ve got and then beg for more. I had, eventually, to get a new computer because I couldn’t give up Photoshop, but my previous (desktop) couldn’t handle it.
This must have been taken in September when the DOT is desperately trying to use up the rest of its allotted funds so that it can get that much and more the following year. Government efficiency at its finest!
They do this all year here except in deep winter. The rest of the year, it’s ROAD WORK time. No wonder the traffic is so bad! If they would fix them properly once in a while, it might mean they don’t have to redo it every single years.
Reminds me of one of the first TV news “specials” I did in Boston back in the early 70’s. We called it “You can’t get there from here”. I thought it was funny back then. Now? Irony: I just noticed the title of your piece. Great minds think alike. It REALLY did seem funny 45 plus years ago.
They need a sign that says a U turn is OK. I know some people wouldn’t be able to read between the signs to recognize what the CAN do!

You’d think, wouldn’t you? But maybe this is the DOT’s way of saying “go to hell”?

You can’t get there from here… you’ve got to go the other way. One of my favorite punch lines. ^_^ Love the sign.

I don’t really use it that way, probably because … well … I don’t know how. Photoshop isn’t all that easy.
