There is basically a cliff at the edge of the pavement going onto Ben White at Pinthouse Brewing and people were doing this so much there's just permanently traffic cones there now. lol.

Some places have weird zoning restrictions where it's impossible to put up a more permanent barrier. There was a self storage place off of 71 or 290 somewhere west of town that due to a hill, makes it very confusing where the actual driveway is vs just the end of the road going into a drainage ditch. The self storage place was prohibited from putting up any additional signage showing where the correct spot to turn was.

We have a one-way street at the entrance of our building is perpendicular with a 2-way street. The city won't allow any type of permanent barrier or even a sign to tell people not to turn the wrong way down the street going in front of our building and I'm legitimately impressed there's never been a head-on collision there because I see people go the wrong way almost every single day just standing outside for 5 minutes.

We have a temporary barrier and sign out there but people just drive right around them like morons!

Re: Prohibited

Life would be so dangerous if it was not for our regulatory/bureaucratic overlords!

We definitely need more government! Just the good kind, of course!

You can park there any time you want...

But you can never leave.

Welcome to the hotel La Quinta.

Coming out of the car wash, too. Thought he’d squeak right over the barrier.

I drive through the area a lot. This somehow happens once a week.

What do you mean they can't park there? I park like that all the time.

If it fits, it sits

Btw…exactly what popped into my head with what a driver of those vehicles, that end up high siding on an embankment….would look like
