Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs...

For some reason, some interstate highways have markers every two-tenths of a mile. Mile markers, of course, are useful and everybody understands why we have them. They tell you where you are on the highway. They tell the nice officer where your breakdown is so the tow truck comes to the right place. They tell the other nice officers where you're trying to elude them. But every two-tenths of a mile? That's so close you can almost read the next one. At highway speeds, that's less than ten seconds apart. I can't figure that one out. Unless someone in state government knew someone with a sign franchise. It still would be silly, but it would be the old familiar silly.
