This paint is only 50ft or so long, so in that short distance you think you will lose your mind and forget how to safely drive a car, we have bigger issues.<br />By law, line paint has nothing to do with the ability to pass another car. As long as its not posted "no passing zone", you can pass anywhere as long as it can be done safely. So you get in accident and its your fault, red white or blue lines say its still your fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-26218668422113296162016-08-05T21:05:57.542-04:002016-08-05T21:05:57.542-04:00Martian Lives Matter!Martian Lives Matter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-52981177806734272882016-08-05T18:42:21.328-04:002016-08-05T18:42:21.328-04:00"Only the most extreme among us think like th..."Only the most extreme among us think like that"<br /><br />Agreed that only the most extreme would say that police lives don't matter. Problem is none of this started until after the black lives matter folks pointed out some cold sad facts.

But it does have the added advantage of enhancing public safety, whether you like it or not.

They would provide a clear indication just where the police station is located to a passing motorist who might be unfamiliar with the area or emotionally distraught. And blue is a color that "conveys importance and confidence without being somber or sinister, hence the power suit of the corporate world and the uniforms of many police officers."<br /><br />http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/colorselection/p/blue.htm<br /><br />No bullshit. <br /><br />Let me add that I am unfamiliar with PennDOT road requirements. If this is prohibited, Hanover should ask Senator Scavello to propose a new rule that specifically authorizes the use of blue coloring on the streets outside of police stations. I know he would help. <br /><br />Everyone should be able to find a police station, and this would no more single out an officer than he already is when he pulls someone over for a traffic offense. <br /><br />Your absurd arguments are why wingnuts like Trump get traction.
