Potatisen , in These little center islands always make me wonder when the last time a human stepped on that piece of land

God damn that's dirty

HonkTonkWoman , in Pink Panther is pretty hard core

I keep reading “Raя” in the Pink Panther’s voice & can’t quit laughing…

Is that the flasher that goes off when an emergency vehicle triggers the lights to green?

Cort ,

That's what I thought it looked like, but it's on a street light, not at an intersection

NakariLexfortaine , in Just down the road

It's a Buc-cees. Just look for the looming monolith on the horizon, you should be able to just make it out from that distance.

Alternatively, look for the great burning eye of Sauron glowing red Heart of Loves

CPMSP , in These little center islands always make me wonder when the last time a human stepped on that piece of land

The answer is likely when that barricade was installed.

Thorry84 ,

Where I live all barricades get regular inspection, cleanup and repair/maintenance where needed.

The squarish thing pointing down is most likely a radiation detector:

The rest of it is point-to-point wireless networking antennas. Not sure which technology but it's probably something specific to emergency alert/law enforcement.

The rectangular box in the back is a standard NEMA box that houses the electronics/power supplies for the other components.

tyler ,

The article you linked is all conceptual. It’s most likely just a wireless network like ricochet, nothing to do with law enforcement.

Was this by chance on I-10 in AZ?

invertedspear OP , (edited )

Yeah, heading north west to Phoenix from Tucson, which is technically the wrong direction for that sign.

Not a surprise, still a lot of things backwards here.
Edit
Oh yea is there still that clown college heading north out of Tucson? Place always looked like a good place to get stabbed which is saying something for Tucson.

Rentlar , in I don't think you're allowed to sleep there

Legislate longer minimum rest breaks for truckdrivers.

niktemadur , in Please send help

no loitering

Rentlar , in You got something in your teeth

The legendary sixth wheel attachment. Bonus sedan delivered to the next destination at no extra charge.

Nobody , in What could this be? on top of a street light post

Tinker Tom needs to cool it with the MILAs.

Crismus , in Just down the road

Is that advertising the new Buc-ees in Colorado north of Denver? If so it's worth the drive away from AZ.

invertedspear OP ,

No, I don’t think it’s that far to the furthest parts of Colorado, but it is about that far to the first one you can reach in Texas on the I-10 if you were going the other way.

odium , in Just down the road

Geez, I saw a 250+ mile buccee's billboard on I-35 and thought that was long.
