When I lived in Houston in 1992 I remember this abomination being installed and I remember using it:

I go by here very often and I take the lane.


Not just paint! Signs!

So you decide if this is acceptable. I couldn't find proof of age; just my memory. There was activity at this time and based on what I've found, this may have been an early "proof-of-concept" installation. Since the objective was to extract federal funding, it appears it worked.

I'll consult my able assistant for a next mission recommendation in case I get cyccommute approval or 3 likes. If unacceptable then I've got a bridge that was installed about 20 years ago but my only proof dates to 2002.
