Hell, they might not even have been paid at all . This looks like they polled the DOT office to see if anyone “was good at art stuff” and just had them do it in MSPaint.

I’m bothered that everything is outlined except the helmet and those tree trunks behind the rider. I almost wonder if the illustration was once unhelmeted and someone just drew a quick helmet over the guy’s head (though that doesn’t explain the trees) .

That’s even worse, it means they spend my tax money to license  this junk.

It’s a product of bureaucracy, so there’s two possibilities here:

1) they went with the cheapest possible artwork

2) this project took eight years and cost $3 million a nd still we ended up with this

When I was riding years ago, those damn long bricks  were the bane of my existence.

The DOT doesnt care as long as it clearly illustrated their point. I'm sure it went to the absolute lowest bidder.

Could it be related to the DOT’s perception of the mental acuity of motorcycle riders?

And there’s even one tree trunk with outlines!
