I’ve noticed here in Kentucky that the country roads have different lines depending on the width of the road.
A full-sized road has lines in the middle and solid white lines on the edges.
A narrower road has lines in the middle but no white lines on the side.
If the road becomes really narrow, to where it’s more of a lane than a road, it doesn’t have any lines at all.
And signs that tell you the name of this or that little country road? Fuhgeddaboudit.
Most county roads in Oklahoma have big rocks in the ditch where the grader operator shoved them. There are no lines. There are no signs either.
I asked the co commissioner how many of his operators had been to grader school to learn how to properly grade a gravel road. “We don’t need none of that junk.” Which is why they are all graded flat, never scarified and have no ditches or crown and are always muddy and full of potholes.
I don’t know where the money goes in Oklahoma except that they never have enough and there is very little show for what they get.
Here in Virginia, VDOT won’t paint center lines down a road until it has more than 3000 vehicles per day.
