glad they are "warning" people but what a stupid plan - obviously people will walk up to the car to ask what is going on and by doing so they put themselves, their pet, potentially their small child in harms way. How stupid.
wow! wouldn't that be a great job if you liked to read? park your car, place your cones and tape, and spend the day reading. do they leave them there 24/7? just can't imagine..
What the heck!? Never heard of wires under the concrete could cause a shock to animals or people. Can't believe they actually hire limo drivers to sit there like that!
HOW STRANGE! We just use cones and signs and rope here...I don't think our city leaders would pay anyone to do that...too cheap...even if it means saftey.
Oh my! I've never heard of such a thing! Not only the part about the wires, but the whole car thing is a first, too :} Another oddity (for me, anyway) is that your sanitation dept handles snow removal?! Here, we have a state-run road maintenance dept - the "D.O.T." (dept of transportation) - they do everything from snow removal to fixing potholes, road/highway construction and repair, traffic lights, etc.
Very interesting, Linny :)
This car is parked outside my home. Con Edison, the electric utility company in my area, pays limousine drivers to sit in their Town Cars with a cone on the roof of the car and plastic tape surrounding the car when there is a 'dangerous condition'. Note, there is no sign stating what the condition maybe. I spoke with the driver....he said, "the electric wires beneath the sidewalk in conjunction with the snow, can cause an electric shock to animals." We have had incidents in the city where people walking their dogs have had their dogs shocked. I believe a very small breed actually died. This is so scarey....if an animal can be shocked, I would think so could a small child! This is too bizarre and part of living in the city. Note the garbage is piling up as Sanitation is putting their efforts into snow removal.....many of those bags are from my shredding.
