I really fucking hate that NZTA is like ‘let’s have speed signs that are black on white only, when all our other signs have red and black on white or black on orange etc’. cos my brain doesn’t recognize them as important.
This?
A temporary speed sign. I notice it, I acknowledge it, and I follow it.
This?
A permanent speed sign in a higher crash area. I notice it, recognize it and I obey it.
This?
I don’t notice it, or I do notice it but it doesn’t compute in my head as a change to the speed, so I don’t obey it. Nothing about this sign screams ‘I am important!! Pay attention to me!’ so my ADHD brain just throws it out as useless.
Sooooo frustrate.
... meanwhile, NZTA is also like let’s paint things on the road just cos. :)
