If only a thing existed that was concrete, about 6” tall, ran along the ground, and encircled the stop sign… like curbing.
They’ll figure it out sooner or later

Yeah that was bullshit, you can bet if their property was involved, they'd have it on tape.

Unusual that it happened on a right turn. Maine drivers love to cut their left turns, but they typically swing out wider than loaded Freightliner when turning right.

That's precisely the problem. They can't miss it.

Is it actually the same one, though? I seem to remember it being more to the left side of the entrance.

They're not driving 18-wheelers. You can make the turn just fine if you're not going 25 mph in a fucking parking lot.

Honestly, at this point, anyone who hits this sign should immediately be forced to surrender their license.

Reply to this is on their intranet as part of a 23-page propaganda piece about unions. 🤔 by ycleptKyara
> Unions have become huge bureaucracies, often totally out of touch with the needs and desires of their membership.
If you’re in a local with more than a hundred people, I can’t sit here with a straight face and say it’s incorrect. I’ve been in two IAM locals and currently in a USW local, there is more fuckery in this local I’m currently in than both of the IAM locals combined. Being unionized is almost always a good thing, but I can definitely tell in here who has and has not worked in a Union environment; it’s absolutely not all sunshine and rainbows like some people paint it as.
One day last spring one maintenance department got an unplanned, non negotiated, outside of contract $6 raise. This pushed their pay gap from the industry standard of $3-5 to almost $10. This was for all pay grades in that department. Roughly 290 days later the rest of maintenance got $2.65. I’m absolutely topped out as far as pay goes in my current position and someone can take a bottom rung trainee bid with the other department and be making within few cents of me. A level 1 trainee making virtually the same as a journeyman; while both are paying the same dues to the same local. That’s fucked up.
I’m rambling but point being: being organized does not make a workplace immune from stupid shit and nepotism

Maybe someday this pole will on its own take bad drivers off our roads. Then we can have reasonable auto insurance rates too.

Nah, just let people keep running into it. It's doing the world a favor by at least temporarily taking people off the roads who probably shouldn't have driving licenses in the first place and giving wake-up calls to people who have just gotten careless.
