Reply to comment by Coffee-FlavoredSweat in How long until someone tries to park their car on top of this "solution"? by Arsenault185

I don’t get this. Usually people hit it coming from the opposite direction. Are both sides lit up or only this side?

The reality is it’s avoided a hell of a lot more than it’s hit so I don’t think it’s too hard to see.

I also don't get the urge when turning left, to leave the right lane, cross the entire left lane, cross the parking spot that's left of the left lane and hit the pole....drivers must be 40 feet off from the normal course of travel before the pole is lined up with their A-pillar blind spot. Anyone off course this far when traveling a regular street would find themselves in a field or woods beyond the left-side drainage ditch. Let's try to save 30 seconds of listening to a great song on the radio, waiting for people to cross so that we can stare at the 75% lean and 80% lean ground beef an extra 5 minutes, deciding whether to spend the extra 25¢ "for health".

Naw, if you look at a Google image’s search, almost all of the pictures are people who hit it while trying to make a left turn.

This is exactly what I’m saying. Coming from the opposite direction than the picture above shows.

My guess is their cutting it short to take that horizontal handicap spot right after the sign and are having object fixation and not seeing the Ballard at all.
