Life is dangerous enought without one of your municipal service departments throwing a random "heads up!" challenge at you - the unsuspecting driver. These Jersey Barriers [1] were installed by the Cleveland Water Department about 10 days ago in the east bound lanes of North Park at the corner of Coventry. (The Department replaced a valve(?) at this location.)
Try this road at night!
The concrete barriers have no blinking lights, there is no warning signage while coming up North Park - so if the light at Coventry is green you can meet these barriers at about 35 mph. The sole reflector is on the silly plastic cone which is mostly hidden behind the concrete barrier. If you choose not to hit the concrete barriers head-on, the alternative is to swing into the oncoming traffic and have a head-on there (Balanced choice). The yellow "UTILITY WORK AHEAD" sign is behind the concrete barriers - so it is false advertizing.
This situation is a fatality waiting to happen. NO JOKE! Could be you, your sister, or your neighbor.
Stay alert! Don't get hurt! Your Cleveland Water Department is determined to keep you on your toes.....
Seriously, who is in charge of constructon related hiway safety at the Cleveland Water Department?
