An involuntary jaunt along the highway

lauredhelI really, truly, think that no one is supposed to cross a certain major road near me. It's like this super duper divide between the suburbs, and there is some occult reason for keeping it a near-impenetrable barrier. I've posted before about the non-existent kerb ramp at a close-by intersection. So I tried to cross a little up the road, where there are two bus stops, so presumably people might want to cross now and then, to, you know, get to or from work or school or wherever.
Annnnnd…. let's take a look.
There on the bottom right of the shot? That's the ramp I'm about to go down on to get onto the road. It's a perfectly fine ramp.
There up at the top left? That's the little bit of connecting path I need to get to in order to cross the other half of the dual carriageway. It's a perfectly good path.
Only trouble is, they don't line up. At all. Not even slightly. So I have to scoot ALONG THE ROAD, this giant major arterial road, quite a ways, to get from one to the other.

Bonus douchebags of the day! Different street, same day.
