Several things involved.

More paint, more graft, more DOT employees voting.

This certainly is not news to drivers who drive long distances to places they have not been before.

Very hard to see lane changes on dark rainy nights and almost as hard to determine whether the sign means turn at this corner or the next.

Highway engineers are at the bottom of the brain pool.

I’m convinced that the traffic engineering programs use an entrance exam that tests common sense. If you have any, they won’t let you into the program.

I’m not convinced there is a decent program anywhere in the US; I know there isn’t one in Texas.

On all the road “improvements” in my area, solid dividers/medians have taken away the ability to turn left into streets/parking lots/shopping centers directly and force people to routinely make U-turns. People seem to to think that as long as they get out in front of you, it’s your job to slow from 45-50 mph to 10 mph to avoid hitting them as they accelerate from a near-stop. It’s ridiculous.
