Granny here,
Will somebody in Bradley County please teach the highway department how to use signs?
I have had two instances where I have gone down a street just to find out that it was blocked and no signs had been posted to inform the public. The other day I was going to across over Durkee Rd. from Benton Pike to 64 highway and I turned down Durkee just to find out that the road was closed and the man was telling people to turn around and go back the way they came. Have they not heard of "Road Closed" signs in the highway department.
There was a sign that said road work but no where did it indicate that the road was closed so they were letting people just keep coming and then making them turn around and go the other way, go figure, has intelligence and common sense took a permanent vacation around here. I see more evidence that that could be the case everyday.
Several times I have see signs that say "one lane traffic" but they never tell you what lane is closed up ahead. Is this too much trouble or do they not care that traffic could hit them where it hurts and it could be avoided by informing the public a little better of the conditions on the road ahead. One can never be over prepared especially on the highway.
Seems that there are an abundance of signs where we need them least and a shortage of ones that could prove to be life savers.
But we do live in Bradley County, Tn. don't we!
Granny here, just saying!
