Signs of the Times

Driving down the highway, it’s easy to take the scenery-the cornfields, the trees, even the road signs-for granted. Often we only notice the center stripe when deciding whether it’s safe to pass the car in front of us. Missing a sign-say, for a turn-off you wanted to take-can be annoying, forcing you to waste time and burn gasoline unnecessarily. More importantly, missing signs can compromise safety, especially at night, when drivers are likely more fatigued and visibility is much more limited.
