Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Transportation on Wednesday to ensure all cities and counties "remove any and all political ideologies from our streets."
Look. I don’t disagree on the safety thing. We chose white reflective lines for high contrast and visibility for what it is. We don’t paint our stop signs brown or green, and we don’t wear blue high-vis vests.
The crosswalk is a bad thing to colour up. I like what the Iceland solution was:
Anyway, here I’ve gone and agreed with a Republican and suggested safety markings should be consistent, so get with the downvoting.
The crosswalk in the photo has reflective white paint intact, and according to standard. Do you think sidewalk chalk is bad for safety too? Should we ban kids from using sidewalk chalk? Should we just ban color combinations and outdoor art?

You definitely can wear blue high vis vests. I have them in orange, yellow, blue ,green, pink, red and white.
I’m going to downvote you but only because you didn’t even glance at the article.
The pictured approach is clearly one in which the safety markings remain visible and contrast sufficiently with the bright rainbow colors.
Something someone did in Iceland isn’t relevant. Maybe in their culture it’s considered polite to mow down pedestrians, there’s no way to know.
