The next highway you design, please throw one of these in there: http://www.xkcd.com/253/ :D

Oh, my, wish I lived there just to get a picture of the thing. Folks up here just don't grok roundabouts (and in Nova Scotia they just bluntly hate them: ask any Haligonian about the Micmac Rotary). There is one in the nearby [nameless] larger town to me, and so far three times there have been trucks stuck in the central flower-bed. Maybe sharp pointed stakes set in concrete are the answer?

Thanks for linky, though. Must see whether they still sell those shirts.

Don't do highway work any more, but it was fun while it lasted. However, all but one of the engineers on one of those route segments was named "Steve". Made for strange meetings:

"Is your name not Steve, then?"
"Do I look like a Steve?"
"Howsabout we call you Steph -- it sure would make things easier."

Yeah. Monty Python did it better.
