Great photo by Russell Hancock, but the poorly maintained crosswalk and lane markings glaringly apparent are typical of anything but the most recent road construction in Houston. Maybe if drivers, pedestrians and cyclists could actually see street markings we all might be a bit safer.
The article on Houston roads then and now just show us the first time the road was built and also the last time any maintenance work was done on the roads.
