Line 106:
* The road running from Fort Irwin (California) to Barstow, the nearest town, has a sign reading: "This road is deceptively dangerous. It has killed __ injured __ this year. Please drive carefully." For symbolic effect, the sign includes a "map" of the road—pictured as a rattlesnake with a lane divider running down its back.
** Several British roads have a similar but rather more understated sign, saying "__ killed, __ injured this year. Drive Carefully."
** Similarly, Route 9 (AKA "Killer 9") in New Jersey during the 1960s and 1970s, before it was rebuilt entirely, actually had warning signs (like the one in [http://943thepoint.com/you-know-youre-from-howell-when/ this article]); at least one kept a running tally of deaths and injuries for the current year.
