On that last one I agree. It says "right lane ends" but it should say "right lane must turn right."

Ohh - Spoken like a guy who is building an underground fortress, and hording canned goods. Ha-ha, just kidding!

I would ban Charlotte effort to repair the highway street lights.
Now raliegh gave the ok to repair them but out of only Charlotte taxpayers taxes.
Maybe repair the ones by on and off ramps but there is no need for the rest of the lights. People can use their headlights to see and signs already have their own lights.

It creates more light pollution and distracts from the beautiful skyline lit up at night.
It uses to much energy and that energy being used causes any more strain on our water supply.

Let's ban the use of people in commercials only for "their looks". I hate those late night party line commercials, car commercials with eye candy all over the cars, etc. Oh yeah, and dogs too! I like dogs, but c'mon, why does a car dealer need to have a dog in their commercials? Ugh! Wouldn't it be great if businesses could market their business and not gimmicks?

A Ford dealer in Canton uses a bull named Otis in their ads.

Realtors who get their kicks days before Christmas by taking clients to houses way beyond their price range so they can make ridiculous low-ball offers in an effort to "get a steal!" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

For TWO DAYS IN A ROW, while my poor little sick ON ANTIBIOTICS baby was crying because she was tired and needed to be home in her bed, this smirking realtor (looking at her card now) and ther two a-hole clients were in MY HOUSE which they cannot even come close to affording (no, it's not that expensive) plotting on how to get "a steal" on it???? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
