We're all familiar, all too familiar, I might add, with road construction and repair. When those signs appear - left lane closed, two miles and what have you - our hearts sink.
Yet I get it. They want to warn you. They want to give you a heads up. Fair enough.
Then they, that famous they, decided it wasn't enough. Someone developed rumble strips, rubber lines glued to the roadbed to make your car, well, rumble as it sped along. They are placed increasingly closer together as work approaches, to remind you that you need to be considerate, slow down, and change lanes. All right, I get that too.
But now, to go along with the construction advisories and rumble strips, there's a new sign.
The other day as I came upon road work, I was informed that there were rumble strips ahead. So I was being warned of the upcoming warning.
It's actually kind of laughable. Still, things may be getting out of hand.
