UK: Cannabis leaf sticker put over traffic light

TRAFFIC in a Hampshire village has gone totally to pot.
Drivers in North Baddesley couldn’t believe their eyes after jokers had slapped black cannabis leaf symbol masks to several green lights.
Motorist Bill Chandler, from Romsey, spotted the prank on the lights at the junction of Botley Road and Castle Lane.
“They would have had to be really tall to reach the lights because they are high up,” he said.
Local councillor Alan Dowden said: “This is a safety device and defacing it in this way could lead to concentration being lost by a driver and an accident of some kind.
Anyone who sees this sort of thing happening should report it.”
Highways staff have now removed the images.

and billboards aren't a distraction? placing a stop sign overnight in a spot where the was not one for the 13 years i have driven down the road is not a hazard? people are just mad that mary jane is finally getting the recognition it deserves and will soon be legal. people dont want to face the inevitable. go weed!!!

I agree that there are many distractions that we have on the road, such as signs, and that people are only complaining about this because of social stigmas against weed

We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people." --- Robert Pirsig - "When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion." --- Brian Cox - "[One] problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion AND have others listen to it. The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense."

really, its actually a distinct possibility that these "vandals" were tall enough to reach a traffic light? last i checked, traffic lights are like 10-20ft off the ground.

I remember somebody somehow reprogrammed a couple of the lights out by my place once, so that the only LED's that turned on were in the shape of a smiley face
-------------------- "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others - the living - are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later"
