Is there something in the water or Moxie down there?

Unbelievable that people keep hitting that same pole after they even put barriers and a stop sign on it! This is Wally World in Auburn Maine. Must have happened at least a dozen times.

When Auburn sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing pickup trucks. They’re bringing SUVs. They’re bad drivers. And some, I assume, are good drivers”

This may sound crazy, but what if, now hear me out - what if they removed the stop sign?

I think they need to close off that part of the city and let the SCP Foundation take over

I don't get it. I've been to that Wal-Mart, I don't have an urge to run into random barricades and poles, or this one, specifically. Does it vanish in their blind spot? Does their blind spot expand? Is the pole magnetic?

Has anyone interviewed these people to find out why they did it?

They need to have a Camera outside so they can live feed it so it would make up for the cost of replacing the sign

I’m pretty positive that someone did voodoo on this Walmart parking lot. Unfortunately all the crashes won’t stop people from shopping there.

They have to get a new position at that walmart for someone to stay outside permanently helping people by directing traffic away from the sign.

Hit it pretty damn hard to move those barriers too. Like it's a fucking parking lot. Slow the hell down

Now, do we count this? Because technically the SIGN wasn't hit, just the barrier

Is there not enough turning radius especially with a vehicle coming the other way? If so, the stop sign should be moved further from the building.

From the the compilation video I saw around Black Friday, it was at least 13. This time they used Jersey barriers and still managed to hit it. There going to be a roundabout put in soon.

Maybe someday this pole will on its own take bad drivers off our roads. Then we can have reasonable auto insurance rates too.

Honestly, at this point, anyone who hits this sign should immediately be forced to surrender their license.

If only a thing existed that was concrete, about 6” tall, ran along the ground, and encircled the stop sign… like curbing.

They’ll figure it out sooner or later

Nah, just let people keep running into it. It's doing the world a favor by at least temporarily taking people off the roads who probably shouldn't have driving licenses in the first place and giving wake-up calls to people who have just gotten careless.

Nooooooooo. This shit doesn’t stop. Fucking pole is gonna start bringing my insurance rates up. Fuck. This is crazy though. All of Maine knows about that terminator pole. I bet there’s a gravitational pull. Fucker sucks you in.

They're going to have to hire someone to stand in front of it to stop people from hitting it. Although I pity the brave soul who risks their life for a stop sign.

Yeah - could be. I can't picture a lot of these parking lot poles, but I'm sure you're right.

This one, however, is clearly in a place that just lands in people's blind spots or something. This is like collision #27. I think we know this is a bad idea now, but they just keep rolling it back out hoping it won't happen again.

I’m not at all surprised. The quality of driving in the Lewiston/Auburn area has become something else.

lespritducellier t1_j7j1qwb wrote

I had the opportunity to visit the Auburn Walmart a couple of days ago and was somehow irrationally worried one of these poles would jump out in front of my car. Imagine my surprise to find they are wildly tall and have bright blinking stop signs on top of them, and these concrete barriers. They are far from invisible.

Whenever I've been at this Walmart I've parked well back from the store and walked so I've never hit this bollard myself. I now wonder how thoroughly I've taken my life into my hands by doing that. If every week someone hits that stationary and yellow pole how are pedestrians safe? I just don't go there now.

Yeah I don't think you could pay me enough to do that job. People don't see an 8ft tall flashing stop sign with a giant yellow pole, surrounded by concrete barriers. No way in hell will they spot a single person.

Somebody needs to hurry up and call the Guinness book of records. There is no way a pole exists in the universe that is hit more often than this one.
