My first thought was “this is urban myth.” But we have a similar stripe going down Niwot road here in Colorado I ride my bike past a root extending into the roadway almost everyday. What I discovered was the road painting team diverted around the root “on purpose” so everyone would see their work and respond just as the original poster did - look at those lazy line painters.
It’s good conversation, but not very good on the “facts” side.

Is this a line painter who has “stop(ped) trying to be perfect and start(ed) being remarkable”. Had s/he been reading “The Big Moo”? Is this what Seth and the Group of 33 intended? ;•)
taking the line around a root does seem to be responsible deviation - warning drivers of uneven surface [and even protecting the tree?]
Happy New Year

I used this photo in a presentation to our entire company two weeks ago. It was my closing photo. The group loved it and it communciated perfectly how quality depends on all of us.
I’ll use it again…this photo is worth 10,000 words, plus.
