Default Re: Centreline Dual Markings

I support the idea.

When caravans are hogging the centre line it is very hard to see past them without showing your nose over the centre line.

So you continually take a peek and move back over, and repeat.

That double centre line makes it easy to see the road ahead.

But I have other problems.

My eyesight is not like it used to be because I have double vision, mild cataracts and cars in the distance now appear as blobs whereas I used to be able to recognise the type and brand of vehicle, dark coloured cars and shade on the road all contribute to making it difficult to sort out cars from trees and other stuff in the distance.

I get by with the help of those yellow road signs that tell me a bend is coming up and now the double centre lines help me to see a straight section of road.

I tow my overweight caravan at 80 kms/hr to save fuel and when I see the yellow signs I slow down to 60 because I can't see the actual advisory numbers. Then as I see the double lines in the distance I speed up to 100.

People are very friendly on the roads these days, many people I don't even know toot me when they go past.

I love being retired.
