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)
