Letters: Lack of lines on Redrooffs Road is a hazard

'Redrooffs Road is the mainly unlit major route in and out of the Halfmoon Bay neighborhood except for the odd junction. At night and especially in the rain the road becomes quite hazardous partially due to narrow shoulders and faded lines.'

I’m writing in regard to the dismal state of the road lines or lack thereof on Redrooffs Road. It has been so long since the lines have been repainted, they’re virtually nonexistent in many sections of the roadway. Redrooffs Road is the mainly unlit major route in and out of the Halfmoon Bay neighborhood except for the odd junction. At night and especially in the rain the road becomes quite hazardous partially due to narrow shoulders and faded lines. I had to avoid a head on collision coming around a corner one night by swerving onto the shoulder and slamming on my brakes because the road lines were completely gone and oncoming traffic was halfway into my lane. I’m hoping it won’t take a fatal accident before the long overdue repairs take place.
