I don’t know if they cheaped out on the line paint, or it’s just these old eyes, but holy smokes…Jacklin Rd is horrible since they re-did it. At night, especially when it’s raining, it’s damned near impossible to see any markings on the road. With the glare of the lights (headlights and lights from the new mall) bouncing up off the street you can’t see a thing. It doesn’t help with those lanes forcing you into the mall and people jockeying around to avoid them. You see folks straddling lanes all the time because you can’t see where you are on the road…everything is reflecting light except the bloody lines. They could have at least put a few cat’s eyes down the center.

Speaking of Jacklin Rd, I noticed they’ve used AstroTurf as a substitute for grass in the boulevards along the side of the road. It looks absolutely tacky.

I laughed the first time I saw that in Langford - astroturf instead of grass. Was not near Jacklin Rd.

 

Then I saw the same thing at Burnside & Tillicum in Saanich, on the corner where M&M Meats is. So not just a Langford thing.

Road markings everywhere around here are horrible and it puts the safety of pedestrians and cyclists at risk.
