Lunchtime Trivia Tuesday, May 4th

Q:  This common safety feature was conceived in the 1950’s after witnessing a leaking milk truck.  What is it?

A:  The white dashed highway lines.

Although they look small while driving, they are actually 10 feet long.

In 1956, dashed lines entered the scene, bringing with them a whole new set of rules for overcoming other cars on the road.

The first lined road in the United States was Trenton’s River Road in Wayne County, Michigan, which dates back to 1911. Edward Hines, at the time the chairman of the Wayne County Board of Roads, came up with the idea after watching a leaky milk truck make its way down the road, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
