A unique road design forced police to confirm that some newly painted road lines were not an accident.
New lines were painted on this road in Pennsylvania on Friday as part of a series of traffic calming measures aimed at addressing residents' concerns about speeding. The installation of chicanes or delineators was set to follow.
The measures came in response to numerous complaints from residents who have described the road as a "speedway," according to Montgomery Township Police Department. The issue was discussed extensively with Traffic Engineers, Highway Safety Officers and Public Works, the police department said.
To further alert motorists, the Police Department deployed a trailer to inform drivers of the new traffic pattern ahead.
