30A needs a face lift

I'm driving home tonight and I catch myself going into the other lane in the Blue Mountain Beach area because the double yellow line disappeared on me.
I mean what the heck happened to it?
I hadn't even had a drink.........then I start to notice heading towards Dune Allen most of the double yellow lines have either been worn off or are just gone in some areas.
The plot thickens, now I find myself actually checking it out "all" the way home and even the white lines on either side of the road have faded out.

I'm thinking to myself this is an accident waiting to happen to a tourist. They could run off the road and hit one of our "monster signs", especially someone that isn't as familar with 30A as I am.

I feel this is very dangerous and should be taken care of immediately!
I am surprised the DOT hasn't moved on this before now.

Have any of you Sowallers noticed this? :idontno:

I?ve noticed the striping problem driving east from Rt. 395 toward the Tom Thumb store. You can be out there at night and not know where in Hell you are! It?s extremely

dangerous if it?s slightly foggy, as it often is.

I only drive a couple of miles to and from work (Dune Allen to Blue Mountain Bch) I'm wondering if there are other areas on 30A that are in this bad of shape?

just curious? :idontno:

I posted this thread 2-13-08 and I have to commend the county on their effort and quick action pertaining to the re-stripping of 30A.
You can see the beginning of a new face lift starting on the west end of 30A.

It's amazing what a little makeup will due! ;-)

Looks "Grayt" guys................... :clap:

That's interesting since they said they were going to start on the east end. I've yet to see a stripe. I guess they wizened up and decided to wait until after we had the rush of spring breakers. They better paint fast because Atlanta high school spring break is next week.

The reason they started on that end is because I live on the west end! ;-).......................

The paint looks great. We walk the west end almost every afternoon.

Now if you could just get people to pick up after their dogs and stop tossing bottles, cans, and trash along the path. :pissed:

I usually carry an extra "doggy bag" to pick up trash as we go. Unfortunately, that's now too small. On the plus side, I also picked up 2.83 yesterday!

Thanks for your efforts in helping keep 30A clean. Your an asset to the community. My thoughts are the same as yours concerning the trash and dog droppings. :blush:
