The following is in response to 'LETTER: More distractions the last thing needed on Hwy. 400,' published April 20.
Seaghan Hancocks' letter was obviously written by someone who has not see the new billboards at the ONroute Centres along the 400-series of highways.
The are not distracting at all and passing them at normal highway speed one really doesn't notice them any more than any other billboard along the highways or in towns.
Seaghan's comments are a typical raise-the-red flag, the-world-is-going-to-end type of reaction. I am sure if one looks into accident reports they would find no evidence of increases in accidents at the service centres where the signs are installed. Find another windmill to tilt at.
