Manhole covers & Dead things

[brit_vtr]

Greetings from afar.

I have come to the conclusion that councils deliberately install manholes slap bang in the apex of corners (roads that is) to test a riders skill & that they randomly scatter dead and decaying creatures on roads for the same reason !!!

To be politically correct, shouldn't that read "personnel access hatches and non-viable organisms"?

How about "non specific two wheeled disruptors" or how the "council and insurance companies work closer together in your community"............

There's not many dead animals on it, but the first bit of Huia road going down from titirangi is really bad with manhole covers all on the corners.

Ive seen the damaged caused to a van that went into an open "personnel access hatch" early one morning....not nice!

I'd hate to think what would happen on 2 wheels!

Those personell access hatches are pretty big solid chunks of iron--imagine the damage hitting one would cause

Not to mention white paint....
(sorry Hitcher - you'll have to come up with the PC version of this one too - I couldn't think of it)

over here you would have to use the words like "non minority specific road markings"
Do they still put powdered glass in that stuff ??, I am sure they use Dulux Full Gloss White with Teflon.......well thats what it felt like last night when out and about.

"Ethnically-challenged margin designating liquid"

Yea white lines are bad, man holes are worse. However I have recently moved to Palmy and they are in the middle of painting big whoary patches of the road green to symbolise a cycle lane. It totaly sux in the wet and they go through the middle of corners. I've heard that even cyclists hate them as they are so slippery.

Some of the road markings are fun though. Loads of junctions and approaches to roundabouts now have grippy shellac coated leading up to them. Great for stoppies...if only I had my bike.
