While it has no apparent impact on safety, aesthetically, it always
bugs me to see the storm drain covers put back differently so that the
double yellow line is now going a different way. I guess looking down
into storm drains and sewers reduces your sensitivity to aesthetics if
this is your job.

I wonder if there has ever been a court battle where a collision
occurred directly over a rotated drain cover and even though one
person was at fault for crossing over the yellow lines, they argued
that the storm drain was turned, so it was not their fault or that it
was the government's?  (Hee, hee)
