Urban Efficiency

As Atlantans take the North Druid Hills exit off 85, many shake their heads at roadwork that seems to be the result of apathy and laziness. I disagree, however, firmly believing this project was carefully reasoned and thoroughly analyzed, and that the Homer Simpson Ideology is not as prevalent in America as one might expect. Rather, the logic is flawless – genius in fact – as mud will inevitably cover the road since there is a large useless pile of dirt right next to the road. By simply painting over the dirt that falls off the dirt pile the line will be visible for at least a week longer.

Similarly, the Department of Transportation has recently determined that stop signs are unnecessary for vehicular safety. They have already begun to faze them out at random intersections.
