A simpler solution

Sat., June 30, 2018

Instead of erecting laser warning devices that make two lights on the bridge flash, why not erect an overhead sign across the road at said bridge height a block from the bridge that says “If you hit this sign you will hit the bridge”? $30,000 for a laser light sign and maybe $2,000-plus labor for a mounted sign.
