And they are so far from it after you get through em you gotta speed up from 30mph to reach the stop sign before the car behind you hits you.

Not only is it not as noticeable, the reflective properties of the sign do not work nearly as well when your lights hit it at an angle. A flashing light at the end of that road would be very nice but will never happen because there are not even power lines in that area, so no power available for the light...

It's not bypassing the strips. Nobody ever does that, right? :) >>Look at this picture good and you will see the vehicle is totally bypassing the rumble strips by driving on the wrong side of the road

When fog is present and vehicles do this there will be a head on crash on County Road 8 (Alabama side.)
