Truck Crashes into a Highway Sign

Truck Crash into a highway sign in Saudi Arabia - August 16th 2015.

Actually, there's another reason I posted this, in hopes that Ms. Vanderbilt-Astor, the NJCher primitive, lurks, and sees this, from an ancient newspaper clipping that I saved from when franksolich was a young one, and living in New Jersey.  I remember saving it simply because of the last paragraph in the story.

I'm curious, given how Ms. Vanderbilt-Astor is so contemptuous of the current governor of New Jersey; have any of the subsequent Democrat governors of New Jersey ever gotten anything done about this, since franksolich last lived there?

During the time of the article you posted, I had two brothers going to school in Louisville, KY. A Hwy 30 in the area, officially known as the Dixie Highway, was locally called the "Dixie Die-way", and apparently for good reasons.

AA highway through the northern part of the state is one of the most dangerous in the country too.

I remembered roads in different parts of Indiana and Ohio that were locally called the "Dixie Highway", so I nadined it.

It's a web of roads.

The Dixie Highway looks sort of like a WWI-era attempt at an interstate highway system.

It was the main road from MI to FL before the interstate showed up.  A little red talking car taught me that.
