Transcript
What's wrong with this picture? And what about this one? What's wrong with this picture? I'll go ahead and fix it for you. There we go. That's better. BC held a weirdly long on painting the fog lines white like we do now in painting the center line yellow. We used to do it the other way around. And actually this wasn't standardized for the longest time within North America. 1971 Best decided to change the system that we have now. This claim that I keep seeing popping up saying that BC has the longest continuously painted yellow line in the worse, which is nonsense. First of all, it says it's on the Rank Canada Highway, which is weird because we can't have a continuously painted yellow line on the Trans Canada Highway that's 2,000 kilometers long because the Trans Canada Highway only runs for a thousand kilometers in BC. Two painted yellow lines on each side, you get to double it up. I think that's where this record of us having the longest continuously painted yellow line for 2,000 kilometers comes from, and it seems like something that BC would make up.
