The broken pylons at my closest bike lane and highway exit indicate that very few drivers can achieve this.
- cfcef 11y agoThat's averaged over weeks or months or however long it takes for repairs, and over however many thousands of cars pass by (the US drives trillions of miles each year).
- smileysteve 11y agoYes, and so is the 30,000 mile figure. Detail: I'm speaking in generalizations here, but it seems that small and even less traveled roads that have pylons often have these damages. Scarily, on a run today, a "lightly" traveled road in a residential area had multiple "stop for pedestrian" signs that had been knocked down. I find this particularly scary on the (non major side street) that I live - where other than residents (300ppl) and 1 business (< 300 ppl) few people should choose to drive - loses these road pylons in a matter of days.
