Community paints blue stripe in middle of road to honour cops

BAINBRIDGE, Pa. — A community in central Pennsylvania has painted a blue stripe between the double-yellow lines on some streets to express support for police, firefighters and ambulance workers.

But the state Department of Transportation is concerned that Conoy Township might have crossed a line — figuratively, that is.

According to a report Wednesday by LNP (http://bit.ly/2gm039w ), the stripe doesn’t comply with state highway rules.

PennDOT spokesman Greg Penny says drivers could get confused and the township could be liable if the coloring causes a crash. Still, Penny wasn’t sure if the agency would take action.
