Letters: We shouldn’t cross the lines, except that our streets don’t have any

I just completed a defensive-driving course to learn something and to receive a discount on my auto insurance. It was very interesting to see all the new “safety features” on the new cars and to review the many rules we drivers must obey. We had an excellent teacher who covered every page in our book. We learned about lines in the street — yellow lines; single, double and broken lines, very important when explaining an accident to a police officer.

However, I have noticed many of our streets have no dividing lines, broken lines or double lines. Where and when will we be seeing lines on our streets again? I can name one for sure, that is West Napoleon Avenue by my apartment complex.

I drive in New Orleans and Metairie quite often to run errands, and I surely miss names of important streets and avenues. There are some excellent big signs but not that many. There are small street signs on the corners but we need bigger signs to read while driving. We have so much to watch and pay attention to, especially since so many of our streets have name changes.
