Anyone else think those bright orange turn markers on the frontside of hwy 9 will do more harm than good? I’m concerned riders/drivers might target fixate and go off...😕

I see 4 lights!
Probably no more than those brilliant LED alert signs CalTrans has on freeways where drivers who can't read weave all over the road staring at them.

Anything along a road is a fixation target, some people stare at rocks, some the grass. The trick is not to fixate and hope others aren't fixating on you.:ride

I haven’t been down toward skyline yet. I’m about to head out and go that way though. I’ve come up from skyline before and haven’t noticed going that way. Are they only going south?

nothing is worse than driving through fairfield on hwy 80 at night and having to shield your eyes from the solano town center electronic billboard that temporarily blinds all motorists by the flashing ads. how is that sign even still up?

Without brake markers, people may not be able to improve lap times as much.

North I believe...from Saratoga. Not even near skyline.

Well, I think prepping for a colonoscopy is a lot worse, but YMMV.
