Messed Up Update: Signs do not deter vandals
by
Here’s an update to a story we brought you in September about a bridge in Cannon County where people were throwing things off into oncoming traffic.
A viewer says the signs TDOT promised to post (“UNLAWFUL TO THROW OBJECTS FROM BRIDGE. VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED”) are not working.
Andy,
The signs did not work! Attached are pictures of a pumpkin that was thrown off the Bridge Wednesday night. I was coming home from a business trip when about 9:30pm when I saw the remains of a pumpkin on the road. I turned around and took pictures and then the next morning took a couple of more. The one picture at night is a picture I took when I saw a car swerve into the other lane to avoid the pumpkin. Sorry the picture is not that clear, it was taken with a cell phone. The pumpkin landed in the same lane as the water balloon, except on the south side of the bridge.
