Surreal, vicious measures in NH budget
Republicans in the New Hampshire Legislature remind me of the wolf in

After several emails to the Department of Transportation and local legislators and letters to the editor, curved stripping was finally put down. However, this wore off in less than two years and has not been refreshed. Now there is no evidence of the painted lane divider.
