Editor, Manteca Bulletin,After reading in Wednesday’s Bulletin about Caltrans’ proposals to improve the unsafe conditions on the 120 Bypass, I had a few ideas of my own that I thought might be helpful.Caltrans suggests that putting up signs every mile alerting drivers that they are now one mile closer to Highway 99 will somehow make impatient drivers slow down and drive more carefully. The wisdom of this approach eludes me, but they are the experts. However, I think that rather than additional signage, it would be more driver friendly to have, at the three mile mark, three Caltrans workers leaning on shovels bs-ing, at the two mile mark, two Caltrans workers leaning on shovels bs-ing, and so on.
