I hope these stripes are *never* applied.
It is not at all clear, that is, what *safety* purpose they would serve.

When cities double-yellow neighborhood streets like this they send the following message: drivers should treat this road as if it is a highway. This is where these double-yellow lines belong -- highways.
Neighborhood streets should receive as little striping and as few signs as possible.

Study after study (not that anyone cares about facts) have shown that the *fewer* the road treatments applied, the safer the street. It does sound counter-intuitive. The lack of striping affects driving behavior toward the more-cautious, which should always be the goal.

Thank you for alerting us to this matter. The painting may be forthcoming, but DEC will check into the status of this issue.

There is currently no plan to install a double yellow line on E. Howard Ave. Typically, double yellow markings are used to define the travel lane and are needed on high volume and high speed roadways. The City will monitor this roadway and will address striping if needed.
